Disruptive Innovation:
From Theory to Practice

When you understand how to implement the theories of Disruptive Innovation, you gain a whole new perspective on the world, your industry, and your organization. You acquire a powerful new language to explain why a particular strategy will work. And you’re empowered with the confidence that comes from grounding your strategy in rigorous business theory.

This immersive program is designed to deepen your understanding of Disruptive Innovation and introduce you to associated frameworks so that you can guide your organization toward growth with clarity and confidence.

Small class sizes allow for deep connection and collaboration with leaders in diverse industries, and our instructors have close ties to our late founder Clayton Christensen, the father of Disruptive Innovation.

You’ll learn to:

  • Stop guessing; start designing products and services customers actually want and need

  • Manage business model innovation with confidence

  • Identify opportunities to launch Disruptive Innovations; navigate and overcome internal resistance to them

  • Recognize the drivers of customer demand

  • Scope and size markets more accurately

  • Identify the building blocks of a culture of innovation  

What makes this program unique?

This is not your average executive education program. You’ll experience:

  • Small class sizes

  • Interactive setting

  • High-impact, personalized learning experience

  • Rigorous content in digestible sessions

  • Theory application in both B2B and B2C case studies

  • Faculty who studied and worked extensively with Clayton Christensen

  • A network of forward-thinking peers

Who should participate?

This course is ideal for those who want to not only better understand the Theories of Disruptive Innovation, but also to learn how to implement them in the real world. Participation is not limited to any specific industry or seniority level, although the insights are most helpful to those in positions to directly influence outcomes, including:

  • Operating company executives

  • Technical individual contributors

  • Business owners

  • Team managers

  • Investors from venture capital, private equity, and other capital markets
