CLAYTON CHRISTENSEN is a Harvard Business School professor and advisor to some of the world's biggest companies. He believes that industry leaders get blindsided by disruptive innovations precisely because they focus too much on their most profitable customers and businesses.
Christensen shows companies how to create disruptions, discover and nurture the best ideas and create entirely new markets. He challenges companies to implement a "well functioning disruptive growth engine." Author of The Innovator's Solution, The Innovator's Dilemma, Seeing What's Next: Using the Theories of Innovation to Predict Industry Change and Disrupting Class, Christensen argues that innovation can be a predictable process that delivers sustainable, profitable growth.
Every company needs to grow, and innovation is the ticket to sustainable and profitable growth. What decisions can managers take to increase their probability of success? Managers have historically struggled to successfully manage innovation. The dilemma as described by Clayton Christensen, a giant in the world of innovators, is how to serve your core business while finding new markets and watching out for new entrants in your blind spot.
He has developed a set of theories to help guide managers when trying to build new growth businesses. In this relevant and timely presentation, Christensen talks on how to sustain success by answer seven critical questions:
- How can I beat powerful competitors?
- How can I connect with customers?
- How integrated should I be?
- How should I set strategy?
- From whom should I get funding?
- Where should the innovation reside?
- What is the role of the CEO?
