In this video I go over how to understand what the business and marketing term "Disruption" really means. It's used and over-used to describe businesses and practices today, but it's actually pretty rare. My source material includes the original articles by Joseph Bower and Clayton Christensen from 1995 and 2015 Original 1995 article: https://hbr.org/1995/01/disruptive-technologies-catching-the-wave Follow-up article from 2015: https://hbr.org/2015/12/what-is-disruptive-innovation In this video I use the examples of the cultured pearl industry and even connect Disruption theory to an ancient warfare technique called Undermining. Use this video to better understand how to establish a disruptive startup or use disruption practices in your incumbent business. Or, learn about it to better be able to recognize it as a threat to your current business.
