Accelerated Disruption: What next for Uber and You?
Digital technology isn’t the only cause of major disruption to business in recent times, but it is certainly one of the biggest. Some organisations such as Uber were born disrupted, but has their transformation journey now stopped? Definitely not. In this presentation we will explore how Uber might deal with the challenge of further disruption, but more importantly we will orient our discussion towards the question of “What does disruption mean to you?”
In seeking an answer, we will introduce the fundamentals of advanced strategy and leadership practices; in the context of surviving and thriving in an era of extreme technological and sociological change.
This presentation will appeal to Corporate Executives and Directors, Entrepreneurs and Consultants seeking insightful and innovative solutions to the challenge of an ever changing technological, social and political environment.
Your attendance at this event will provide you with:
- The motivation to embrace rather than fear disruption, and to understand how its management can contribute to sustainability and new opportunity.
- Insight into the mechanics of dealing with disruption; the three elements being critical thinking, the structuring of strategy, and the application of advanced technology.
- An appreciation of methods, skills and techniques that will help you to get started on a journey of disruption in general and the challenge of accelerated disruption in particular.
