Clayton Christensen Revisited, featuring Mark Hatch
In Episode 68, we re-visit a true titan of innovation. We were saddened when he passed away earlier this year. We are joined by a very special guest, Mark Hatch - Speaker, Writer, Advisor and Consultant in Exponential Innovation, Advanced Manufacturing and the Maker Movement. Clayton wrote many books on and around the topic of innovation and was a Harvard Business School Professor. Arguably, his most significant contribution is his theory of "disruptive innovation" - considered the most influential business idea of the early 21st century. We previously delved into Clayton in Episode 39.
