What is disruption?
Disruption in business refers to significant changes that alter industry landscapes, upending established markets and displacing longtime leaders. It can come from technological breakthroughs, innovative business models, or changes in consumer preferences.
What does disruption look like in an enterprise?
Disruption can manifest as a sudden loss of market share due to a new entrant, a rapid shift in technology that renders a product line obsolete, or a social movement that changes consumer behavior. It's like a road that suddenly ends, forcing a detour into uncharted territory.
