Why is it that some organizations seem to disrupt all the time while others never seem to get traction? Disruptive organizations and their leaders have a secret: they align everyone and everything they do toward the future and make the difficult decisions today to make them a reality. In this thought-provoking session with Charlene Li, Chief Research Officer at PA Consulting, learn how disruptive organizations do this and how you can get started on your disruption journey, especially in this time of “permacrisis.”

Key Takeaways:

• Qualities of disruptive organizations that lead them to success
• Real examples of organizations who have significantly grown their market share and how they did it
• Practical tips to strengthen your organization’s growth strategy
• What is the “permacrisis” and steps your organization can take to overcome its challenges and thrive
