BUILDING AN ORGANISATION FOR THE BRAVE NEW WORLD – DESIGN THINKING & BLOCKCHAIN
From Uber to Airbnb, start-ups are transforming the traditional industries and business models that we are used to and the traditional, large organisations that dominate these industries can often struggle to respond with the agility required to remain competitive.
To date, large incumbents have responded in one of three ways;
1. Ignoring the disruption & eventually failing;
2. Buying out the new disruptor at significant multiples, or
3. Adapting and thriving through the disruption.
In this session, we will talk through how your business can take this third approach, to not only adapt and change, but to thrive through this disruption. Using research from Silicon Valley, combined with their years of experience working with different businesses, our speakers, My-Linh Dang and Errol Woodbury will present together:
- Some examples of firms and industries that have grown and thrived through this disruption, and why others have faded;
- Blockchain technology, how it will impact traditional businesses and how you might use it to grow your business;
- How you can motivate and manage your people through change;
- How to adopt a practical process within your organisation, which provides a structured approach to incorporating innovation.
Our focus here is twofold – we highlight the disruption trends from around the globe and we review essential ideas that, taken together, can help you understand what is happening in your industry and how you can adapt to continue to succeed in your market.
