Our Thesis
WHAT’S HAPPENING
Disruptive technology forces are radically transforming the landscape of every industry. Technology has emerged as a core asset and a key competitive differentiator between the winners and losers of this increasingly global competition.
WHAT YOU MUST DO
To avoid disruption and become a winner, you must turn emerging technologies into an engine for the new growth of your business and your core competitive advantage. You must also learn how to disrupt yourself (by introducing new products with lower prices and higher quality).
HOW WE CAN HELP
We make the best practices of Silicon Valley’s disruptive innovation available to you. Join the hundreds of companies that are building new value by creating innovative products and cultivating a culture of innovation.

Our mission is to equip business executives with new insights, leadership mindsets, and capabilities to foster growth and innovation in their business.
