In this week's newsletter, Stephanie Mehta emphasizes the enduring relevance of Clayton Christensen's insights from his book, The Innovator's Dilemma, highlighting the persistent challenge faced by CEOs in grasping the necessity of self-disruption. Despite advancements in understanding disruption, Mehta notes that many leaders struggle to implement this critical strategy, often allowing traditional revenue streams to hinder innovative transitions. The lengthy transformation of Calix, Inc., from a networking gear maker to a software and managed services provider, illustrates the complexities of navigating disruption successfully over time.
"Companies certainly know more about disruption than they did in 1995, but I still speak and write to executives who haven't firmly grasped the implications of the theory."
"It takes very skilled and very astute leaders to be navigating disruption on a constant basis."
