Even in the age of AI’s disruption, as noted by Rudyard Kipling, “Funny how the new things are the old things.” Time and again, I frequently find lessons so well presented, they can easily be adapted to other fields or circumstances.

Clayton Christensen’s simply amazing 1997 bestseller, The Innovator’s Dilemma, introduced readers to the groundbreaking idea of disruptive innovation. He demonstrated how even respected companies and organizations can do everything right and yet still lose market leadership.
