Disruptive Innovation

Managing Radical Change for High Growth

INTRODUCTION

This MBS Management & Leadership training seminar on Disruptive Innovation focuses on one of the most important challenges facing all businesses today – innovation. Product and business life-cycles are shortening and the intensity of competition is rising globally. Innovation is emerging as the most strategically significant aspect of business operations. It takes two forms: (i) innovation that improves product and process efficiency and (ii) innovation that results in a radical new way of doing business. The first can be termed an “enabling” innovation, the second a “disruptive” innovation. An enabling innovation will improve performance in existing operations; a disruptive innovation will take an organisation into a differentiated and leading position.

“Disruptive Innovation” is the subject of this training seminar. This MBS Disruptive Innovation training seminar is designed to enable an organisation to achieve and sustain superior performance – measured in terms of profitable growth – usually through radical change in its complete business model.

This MBS training seminar will highlight:

  • The Strategic Significance of Innovation
  • The Significance of Enabling and Disruptive Innovation
  • Disruptive Innovation as a Business Process
  • Risk and Reward in Disruptive Innovation
  • Introducing and Developing Disruptive Innovation in your Team
