Opening Plenary Session and Keynote speaker: Clayton M. Christensen

Clayton M. Christensen, best-selling author, is the architect of and the world’s foremost authority on disruptive innovation, a framework which describes the process by which a product or service takes root initially in simple applications at the bottom of a market and then relentlessly moves ‘up market’, eventually displacing established competitors.

His seminal book The Innovator’s Dilemma (1997) first outlined his disruptive innovation frameworks. The Innovator’s Prescription (2009) examines how to fix the problems facing healthcare by employing the principles of disruptive technology.

Christensen serves as an advisor to numerous countries and companies and is currently the Robert and Jane Cizik Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School.
