The LX Signature: Digital Disruption with Jonathan Copulsky

They were forced to adapt to a confluence of multiple disruptions inextricably linked to a longer-term, ongoing digital disruption. In this on-demand The LX Signature event, Jonathan Copulsky – Northwestern professor and former Chief Marketing Officer for Deloitte Consulting – discusses his book – The Transformation Myth: Leading Your Organization Through Uncertain Times – and shows how companies that use disruption as an opportunity for innovation emerge from it stronger. This session explores how companies can adapt in an era of continuous disruption and explains why those that merely attempt to “weather the storm” until things go back to normal (or the next normal) miss an opportunity to thrive.
