Clayton Christensen presents The Innovator's Dilemma concepts. The paradox of doing everything right and still losing to disruption.
Curator's Notes
Personal insights by JK, COO
The most dangerous business advice is 'listen to your customers.' Your best customers will guide you toward sustaining innovation while disruptors capture the future.
💡
Why I Curated This
This is the deeper dive into Christensen's framework. The paradox he describes — that well-managed companies fail precisely because they do everything right — is one of the most counterintuitive insights in business. I use this framework when evaluating new market opportunities: instead of asking 'what do our current customers want?', I ask 'who are we NOT serving, and why?'
Key Insights
