Recommendation

Analyst Whitney Johnson applies Clayton Christensen’s concept of “disruptive innovation” to individual careers. She uses this idea to offer metaphorical lenses that enable you to see your career with new eyes. Johnson's advice on how to innovate will help you take responsibility for redefining your professional path, however, deliberately disrupting yourself could reshape your career, so your path may look quite different if you undertake her approach. Her guidebook will help readers who are seeking new perspectives on their careers and meaning in their work.

Take-Aways

  • In “disruptive innovation,” companies enter a market by selling a product much cheaper than the firms that currently dominate that market, thus turning it topsy-turvy.
  • Apply disruption innovation at a personal level as you redefine your career path.
  • Disruptive innovation follows an “S-curve,” with slow growth at first, then explosive growth, then slow growth again.

    Considero que es muy importante tomar riesgos , ver el negocio de fuera y enfocarse en la parte emocional de los clientes , entender sus necesidades de cambio, asimismo concuerdo que al ampliar nuestra red , ampliaremos nuestros conocimientos y surgirán nuevas ideas. No debemos temer el fracaso, ya que es un nuevo aprendizaje.

    Another reminder that growth is possible from failure if viewed through the right lens. I operate from a sense of discovery but need to not get overly distracted from the task at hand.
