EVENT DETAILS Casual gathering to meet up with Charlene & fellow disruptors to connect & support each other. About this Event Meet up with bestselling author, speaker, & entrepreneur Charlene Li & connect with fellow disruptors in an informal gathering over drink in the historic Driskill Bar. And come learn more about Charlene's new community for disruptors, Quantum Networks. The purpose of the community is to support disruptive leaders in their quest to create exponential change in their organizations, communities, & society. Charlene will also be sharing what she learned researching her latest book, "The Disruption Mindset" about who disrupts organizations & the commonalities they share. You can also catch Charlene at her SxSW talk earlier on Sat. March 14th at 11am. Description of The Disruption Mindset Many companies make disruption their goal. They believe that if they develop the right innovation, they will disrupt their markets forever & drive the kind of growth worthy of a magazine cover story. But as bestselling author Charlene Li explains, that's not how disruption works. Disruption doesn't create growth; instead, growth creates disruption. Growth is always hard, & disruptive growth is exponentially harder. It requires companies to make tough decisions in the face of daunting uncertainties: Should we bet our company's future on next-generation customers or today's reliable ones? Should we abandon our current business model for an entirely new one? Making bold changes demands bold leadership and, often, massive cultural transformation.
