CEO3.io - Driving Exponential Change: Sell before you have a product, execute agile pivots when required and scale up exponentially

Too many legacy companies are being disrupted, many iconic brands from the last century have faded into oblivion and many went bankrupt.These failures are mainly attributed to their inability to understand the transformative nature of digital businesses, exponential technologies, understand disruption and pivot at the right time. Both of us have experienced the speed of disruption; from vantage point of working in legacy companies and leading and operating disruptive companies. Nitin also spent time in Management Consulting working with both, the disruptors and the disrupted. Maarten witnessed disruption while at Nokia and recently held an innovation leadership position in a large European insurer. Unless more companies go digital, many industries will be disrupted and will affect many families. We hope to share a few of our experiences, observations an expertise to help executives make the transition.
