Course description
Leading Disruptive Change and Innovation: Your Plan for Breakthrough Growth
Breakthrough growth isn't about luck. It requires that everyone in the organization change their mindset from what is to what if and create a disruption. Disruption equips us with the ability to withstand external threats, like competition, technology, government regulations, demographic shifts, economic uncertainty, and other influences.
As a leader of disruptive innovation, you will help your business capitalize on new opportunities and safeguard it against stagnation and obsolescence. In this program for experienced leaders, you'll identify and develop pivotal skills for being a visionary leader who is able to get ahead of the curve, prime others in your organization to welcome disruption, and do away with the common organizational resistance that often prevents companies from embracing the unexpected.

interactive, energetic instructor; enjoyed breakout sessions
Class size was small. Only 5 students including myself. Both good and bad. Great conversations with high caliber people but limited due to small pool.
