Charlene Li

Práve teraz sa ľudia cez blogy a komentáre vyjadrujú na webe k vašim produktom a službám, či prerábajú vaše reklamy na YouTube. Píšu o vás články do wikipédie a spájajú sa do skupín, ktoré sa volajú rovnako ako vaša spoločnosť či produkt, ktorý ponúkate. Toto všetko sú prejavy nového spoločenského javu, nazývaného spodná vlna. Sociálne siete majú v dnešnom svete nepredstaviteľný vplyv, umožňujú totiž zákazníkom priamo zasahovať do vášho obchodu. Len vďaka webu si dokážu vymieňať skúsenosti, pozitívne aj negatívne, takou rýchlosťou, že na ne väčšina firiem nestíha reagovať. Vďaka tejto knihe sa však vy na jav, ktorý je pre iných hrozbou, môžete dokonale pripraviť a využiť ho vo svoj prospech.

Many companies make disruption their goal. They believe that if they develop the right innovation, they will disrupt their markets forever and drive the kind of growth worthy of a magazine cover story. But as bestselling author Charlene Li explains, that's not how disruption works. Disruption doesn't create growth; instead, growth creates disruption. Growth is always hard, and disruptive growth is exponentially harder. It requires companies to make tough decisions in the face of daunting uncertainties: Should we bet our company's future on next-generation customers or today's reliable ones? Should we abandon our current business model for an entirely new one? Making bold changes demands bold leadership and, often, massive cultural transformation. Over the years, Li has seen some organizations beat the odds and succeed at becoming disruptive: Adobe, ING Bank, Nokia, Southern New Hampshire University, and T-Mobile, among them. Their stories make it clear that organizations don't have to be tech start-ups or have the latest innovations to transform. What they need to do is develop a disruptive mindset that permeates every aspect of the organization. Li lays out how to do so by focusing on three elements: a strategy designed to meet the needs of future customers; leadership that creates a movement to drive and sustain transformation; and a culture that thrives on disruptive change.
