Navigating Disruption on the Frontline with Shawn Kanungo
“The greatest era of innovation is coming.” This statement may sound out of place or downright tone deaf given how difficult it has been for businesses to just keep their doors open over the past six months. However, think about the ways you have adapted the way you live and work during the pandemic. Consider how much more quickly organizations have adopted digital tools and ecommerce options than they have in the past. The pandemic has disrupted our lives, but it has also set the stage for an unprecedented level of innovation … but only for companies who recognize this potential.
JD sits down with Shawn Kanungo to explore the impact of disruption and how this can be reframed as the fuel for positive business change. We talked about the ways the pandemic has impacted both organizations and individuals. We highlight the importance of learning from disruption to find new ways to move forward. And we discover the greatest source of potential innovation in any business: the frontline.
Shawn is a globally recognized disruption strategist who works at the intersection of creativity, business, and technology.
