Most companies start off as innovative, because they invent and implement something novel and disruptive.

Over time, although innovation typically continues, it gets harder to disruptively innovate, which is dangerous, because if you’re not disrupting your industry, someone else eventually will.

It’s something Marcus Weldon works on day in and day out as CTO at Nokia and President of Bell Labs.

He joins Cassidy in the latest episode of Leading with Data to share everything you need to know to be on the winning side of the disruptive innovation game.
