Wow what an amazing world we now live in. Technology rules … OK!
Disruption like fake news is a hot cliche. Could be the hottest right now.
Disruption describes new technologies and new business models that disrupt the current models, processes and accepted standards of business.
- Taxis were disrupted by UBER
- Graphic design was disrupted by Adobe
- Hotels/accomodation was disrupted by AirBnB
- Commercial real estate was disrupted by WeWork
- Photography and processing was disrupted by mobile phones + photoshop
It’s nothing new though. As the above photo depicts horses and carriages with a trolley car and next to that an early motor car. That was a disruption. But they didn’t have that neat phrase to label things.
In business we must track trends or we’ll be left behind holding the box brownie.
