Innovation: Minimizing failure or maximizing success?
In a series of experiments using a portfolio of 48 businesses funded by a high-tech company’s new business arm, Michael Raynor of Deloitte Consulting LLP shows that Disruption Theory can increase predictive accuracy by up to 50 percent. The implication is that it is possible to identify winning ideas at the earliest stages of development and shape them in ways that can increase the likelihood of long-term survival. Raynor will explain how Disruption can enable more accurate prediction.
