Michael Horn, co-founder of the Clayton Christensen Institute for Disruptive Innovation, shares a provocative concept in this talk from Tugboat Institute Gathering of Teams 2021. Silicon Valley is widely believed to be the source of disruptive, market creating innovation. Michael deconstructs this myth and argues that Evergreen® companies – operating under long planning horizons and a focus on profitable growth – are actually poised to be the engine for future market creating disruptive innovations. Michael’s presentation provides a compelling case of how Evergreen businesses are best positioned to spark new industries and job growth again and again.
