On the newest episode of Exponent, the podcast I co-host with James Allworth:
In this episode we take on the validity of Disruption Theory in three parts:
- A discussion of Jill Lepore’s New Yorker article attacking disruption, as well as the debate that surrounded the article
- Ben’s article from last fall “What Clayton Christensen Got Wrong”
- A deeper discussion about whether or not managers can really do anything about true disruption, and whether or not they should even try
