Event: How Disruptive Innovation Can Hurt Your Business


Date: Tue 28 March 2023
Time: 10:00AM - 12:00PM
Where: Online Webinar
Book now
Learn the four quadrants of disruption, the difference between innovation & disruption, and the story of how David beat Goliath—a start-up that won against a global giant.
Join us for a free webinar to learn how when faced with innovations that could lead to a new business model dominating your industry, the advice is to “Disrupt or Be Disrupted”. But what if you’re unsure if it has true potential? Can you afford to invest before knowing the cost vs benefit?

We will answer these questions:
- What if an innovation poses a threat which you are unable to predict whether it has truly transformative potential
- What is the impact when balancing the costs versus benefits of self-disruption at that uncertain stage
- How do you evaluate problems and find creative solutions to disrupt before you are disrupted.
