Speakers Who Empower Teams To Be Disruptors

Did you know that since 2000, roughly 52% of Fortune 500 companies have either gone bankrupt, been acquired, or shuttered due to digital disruption?

Disruption has already fundamentally changed the ways we interact, work, communicate, play, travel, shop, and more. But it doesn't have to be something that we fear, if we properly understand what it means for our organizations.

While we often talk about the threats posed by disruption, we don’t always talk about the opportunities it poses or practical ways to get ahead of it. Hiring a disruption speaker for an upcoming event is a fantastic way to get your audience excited to embrace change, address new trends, and brainstorm new ideas that could transform your business model in profound ways. And many disruption speakers can customize their presentations to talk to work for organizations that are large and heritage, or small and up-and-coming.

These speakers will empower your teams to become the disruptors remaking the business landscape:

JONAH BERGER 

Marketing Professor at the Wharton School of Business and New York Times Best-Selling Author

Jonah Berger is a professor at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and a world-renowned expert on decision making, social influence, word of mouth, and how products, ideas, and behaviors become popular. Dr. Berger has spent more than 15 years studying judgment and decision-making and consulting for Fortune 500 companies. He looks at how organizations can sway behavior and describes how to prevent consumers from getting mired in “decision-making quicksand.”  We live in an age of disruption. Entire industries have been uprooted and displaced by new technologies and business models, and the most successful corporations out there didn’t exist just a few decades ago. Jonah is offering a new talk called “Disruption-Proof,” geared to help businesses redefine their competitive set, “de-risk” innovation, and ultimately cannibalize themselves by creating the new business models that would otherwise take away their market share. With examples pulled from consumer goods, automotive, and hospitality industries, he offers a fast-paced look at the issues businesses need to prioritize now.  |  Read more about Jonah Berger.
