Do we need an Uber-like intervention to disrupt the

construction industry? According to Clayton Christensen, the grand-daddy of

Disruption Theory, the answer is a resounding no. His argument is that Uber is

not a good example of disruptive innovation. No question that Uber has

disrupted the taxi industry, but the power of disruption theory, according to

Christensen, is that it reveals the true nature of disruptive innovation, and

Uber doesn’t fit that bill. If we really want to promote and better manage the

rapid and fundamental change to the industry that many current industry

challenges demand, it is essential that we first understand the true nature of

disruptive innovation.
