    PODCAST: CASE STUDY: CATEGORY DISRUPTION

     

    True Wisdom come to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.”

                                                  Wisdom from Socrates


    In 1980, Sony introduced the Walkman, considered revolutionary at the time. It was a disruptive product that allowed us to carry our music with us on the go. However, the downfall of the Walkman is it was never adapted through generations.

    The Walkman is a testament to the leadership you attain due to disruption. As I have discussed, Disruptive Innovation on another level, but you cannot build your Innovation Pipeline without Disruption.

    “Think big, think disruptive. Execute with full passion.”

    • Masayoshi Son

     

    Disruption is a word thrown these days loosely, but only a few true innovators realize its true meaning and actual executions. Disruption is innovation on another level, and innovation is merely a stepping to along the path to Disruption.

    Disruptions move a brand in a new direction, creating a market that did not exist or re-building something broken.

About The Visionary Chronicles

From the publisher's feed

I spent 20 years in executive roles at Oakley, adidas, TaylorMade, and K-Swiss — then built and sold my own brand to a VC firm. Now I run LiquidMind, a brand strategy advisory firm, and I share everything I know on this show.
