On this week's episode, I'm delighted to be joined by Rich Alton the Director of emerging research at the Clayton Christensen Institute. Harvard Business School Professor Christensen, who sadly passed away only last week, is recognised as one of the world's leading thinkers in terms of disruption and the Institute that bears his name is dedicated to improving the world through disruptive innovation. On today's Success iD episode Rich and I explore the fascinating theme of Disruption as Success.
I'm very grateful to Todd Kohlhepp from Stern Strategy for his help in organising this podcast.
You can find out more about Rich's work on disruption via his latest paper via the link below:
The Race for Autonomous Ride-Hailing: Developing a Strategy for Success, which provides some more examples to support the ideas discussed in the episode.
I personally love the idea of the 'Jobs to Be Done' Theory. This page on CCI's website gives a nice overview of what it means and there's also a book out on the topic Competing Against Luck, authored by Dr. Christensen and several of his colleagues.
