Joined in studio today by Jeff Loucks of the Cisco Digitization Office, and co-author of Digital Vortex: How Today’s Market Leaders Can Beat Disruptive Competitors at Their Own Game.
Discussion guide from my conversation with Jeff Loucks:
1. We discuss the research behind the book.
2. We hear a lot about digital disruption. Is it real or is it hype? How does competition change in the age of disruption?
3. You compare digital disruption to a vortex. How does this explain how disruption works? And what will be affected?
4. Digital disruptors focus on the value, not the value chain when they innovate.
5. Organizations must be agile to respond to disruption. “Digital business agility.”
6. Are digital disruptors always the enemy? Can established organizations use them to their advantage?
