"The most dangerous decision-making fallacy is that informed decision-makers will naturally make better, more objective decisions. Making consistently timely, effective, informed decisions takes hard work. Trust me – it’s worth it. Effective decision-making is the essential common ingredient behind every successful step, initiative, and strategy that people, organizations, and national governments undertake."

​
-
Understand: A key challenge facing organizations in coping with disruptions is in understanding the competitive implications of innovative technologies. Our team will share with you and your leadership team the latest lessons learned, research and methods for exploiting technological innovations and change. It sets the foundation to keep your organization aware of and responsive to future waves of disruptive, innovative technologies.
-
Transform: While disruptive innovations are the drivers of change, people are the transforming force of organizations. We’ll show you how the best performing companies in the world leverage technology and human capital to driver transformation and improve performance.
-
Thrive: This is the most exciting and rewarding part of the journey. We’ll share best practices, methods and strategies to exploit innovation, disruptions and change. Thrive builds on powerful synergies between technology and human capital that turn transformation into a continuous source of competitive differentiation and advantage.
-
Disrupt: Businesses concerned with disruptions frequently ignore their own power to disrupt. It’s a costly oversight that can easily squander opportunities to reshape their markets and gain a dominant leadership position. Innovative products and services, data capture and analysis, platform business models and Blue Ocean Strategies are not the exclusive domains of emerging competitors. We’ll help you recognize and exploit opportunities for market leadership through your own innovative, disruptive strategies, practices and technologies.
​
The Understand-Transform-Thrive-Disrupt framework emerged from decades of practice and experience gained in innovative, disruptive environments. It delivers a powerful, accessible approach to guide organizations through transformative processes in the pursuit of continuous advantage.
