CHRONICLE INTRO |
There are Business principles and there are Life principles. These are mutually exclusive, but they work in parallel to define who we are as a person or brand. Finding a way to stay true to both will lead to a more prosperous, kind, and giving life, both personally and professionally. Not merely making the effort, but genuinely, willfully caring about what you are doing makes all the difference

PODCAST: CASE STUDY: CATEGORY DISRUPTION
True Wisdom come to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.”
Wisdom from Socrates
In 1980, Sony introduced the Walkman, considered revolutionary at the time. It was a disruptive product that allowed us to carry our music with us on the go. However, the downfall of the Walkman is it was never adapted through generations.
The Walkman is a testament to the leadership you attain due to disruption. As I have discussed, Disruptive Innovation on another level, but you cannot build your Innovation Pipeline without Disruption.

“Think big, think disruptive. Execute with full passion.”
Masayoshi Son
Disruption is a word thrown these days loosely, but only a few true innovators realize its true meaning and actual executions. Disruption is innovation on another level, and innovation is merely a stepping to along the path to Disruption.
Disruptions move a brand in a new direction, creating a market that did not exist or re-building something broken.
