a quick guide to change perspective on one of the most abused terms of the last decade: Disruption
The course is very well organized into sections, the videos are clear and well supported by slides to establish the key concepts. Recommended both for people who have to manage and for those looking for inspiration, to learn how to turn the screw
It completely exceeded my expectations
The course was not only informative and well-structured, but it also ignited a newfound passion within me for thinking outside the box and challenging the status quo.
The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, providing real-world examples and case studies that brought the concept of disruptive innovation to life. The interactive nature of the course kept me engaged and motivated to learn more.
Overall, I can’t recommend this course enough to anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of disruptive innovation strategy and how it can be used to drive meaningful change within organizations. It’s a game-changer, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of it.
