Digital Disruption: Unleashing the Next Wave of Innovation
"I have studied disruptive innovation for more than two decades. Here, McQuivey offers insights about disruption--and about the accelerating pace of disruption--that I truly hadn't understood before. This is a very important book about what tomorrow holds in store; it shows us both what will happen and how to address it. I recommend it enthusiastically." --Clayton Christensen, professor, Harvard Business School, and author of The Innovator's Dilemma“As James McQuivey says, ‘Digital disruption is not only a possibility for your company’s future but the only possibility.’ Once you accept that premise, decisions that previously seemed courageous or outrageous will instead appear to be rational and inevitable. James offers a road map for business leadership in the digital age that is thoughtful, inspiring, and liberating.”—Baba Shetty, CEO, The Newsweek Daily Beast Co.“There is a powerful change happening in the way we consume and process information. It’s a democratizing force that is drowning out the oligarchy of media who have told us what’s important and what to think. It is incumbent upon all of us to master this new method—and to take the power into our own hands. James’s book is an important step in that direction.”—Cory Booker, mayor, Newark, New Jersey, and co-founder, #waywire“InDigital Disruption, James McQuivey persuasively demonstrates how to shift your mind-set by thinking and acting ‘disruptively’ in order to drive radical change to best meet the future needs of your consumers."—Markus Dohle, chairman and CEO, Random House“As McQuivey vividly shows, advances in hardware and software have totally changed the way we do business and the way we live. This valuable book helps business leaders join this accelerating revolution and transform their relationship with customers.”—Kevin Rollins, former CEO, Dell, Inc.“Technology disruption used to affect other people, not you. No longer. This is a frightening and useful manifesto about how the rapid changes in technology are going to overturn every corner of the world as we know it—and how you can take advantage of that.”—Seth Godin, author ofThe Icarus Deception“ManyFortune 500companies that existed three decades ago are now gone. If your company is to survive the next decade, read this book ASAP to learn how to innovate faster, better, and cheaper—or else, you will succumb to digital disruption.”—Navi Radjou, coauthor ofJugaad Innovation and From Smart To Wise"In his new book, James makes a compelling argument to think beyond change for change's sake and instead focus on giving customers what they truly want. This book is a must-read for anybody who wants to succeed in the next era of consumer technology."—Jim Lanzone, President, CBS Interactive“James McQuivey issues a provocative mandate for business—disrupt yourself or be victimized by legions of innovators with widespread access to low-cost digital technologies. He not only describes the digital disruptor’s handbook, he provides many examples on how disruptors create deeper, more sustaining connections with customers. The book is both smart and practical.”—Scott E. Howe, CEO and President, Acxiom“Disrupting healthcare as an industry has become a national imperative. Forrester’s book, brilliantly analyzing the anatomy of disruption, is just what the doctor should have ordered.”—Roy Shoenberg, MD MPH, CEO/Founder, American Well
