Drawing on computational modeling inspired by James March\u2019s seminal work, the authors show that traditional performance systems\u2014such as Microsoft\u2019s former stack ranking\u2014create two hidden problems: employees over-copy established stars (\u201covershooting\u201d) and rely on outdated signals of who is performing best (\u201cfrozen targets\u201d). These dynamics prevent the recombination of distinct knowledge into better solutions. The fix is to replace fixed rankings with continuously updated \u201clive targets,\u201d allowing new high performers\u2014often underdogs who reach the frontier via different paths\u2014to become visible and influential immediately. Combined with a \u201cmind-the-gap\u201d rule, where those far behind learn quickly and those near the frontier learn selectively, this approach accelerates innovation on complex problems. The implication: competitive advantage depends less on assembling diverse talent than on designing systems that continuously surface and recombine it."}
