An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Disruptive Innovation
Managing Radical Change for High Growth
Course Overview
This GLOMACS Disruptive Innovation training seminar focuses on one of the most important challenges facing all businesses today - innovation. Product and business life cycles are shortening, and the intensity of competition is rising globally. Innovation is now emerging as the most strategically significant aspect of business operations. This takes two forms: (i) innovation that improves product and process efficiency and (ii) innovation that results in a radically different way of doing business. The first can be termed an “enabling” innovation, the second a “disruptive” innovation. An enabling innovation will improve performance in existing operations. A disruptive innovation will take an organisation into a differentiated and potentially leading position.
"Disruptive Innovation" is the subject of this training seminar. This is designed to enable an organisation to achieve and sustain superior performance - measured in terms of profitable growth - often through a radical change in its complete business model.
