How to deal with disruption?
I have a solution for you- its beyond innovating.
Let’s rewind for a moment:
- Streaming disrupted theaters and TV
- Smartphones disrupted cameras & music players
- Apps disrupted physical businesses: taxis, hotels
My approach if you’re in similar situation:
Progress through choices based on the scenario:
1. Ask – Can you innovate? Move on—like Walkman did.
But you still can...
2. Partner – Sell your most valuable tech to the disruptor.
Or you can...
3. Repurpose – Like Walkman’s audio or speaker tech.
If none of that works...
4. Pivot – Completely, with distribution—like Fujifilm.
Choose before market drowns you, or panic will follow.
Conduct a deep assessment to gain clarity on your opportunities.
You will be the saviour in the eyes of your team and industry.
P.S. What would you rather do: innovate, pivot, repurpose, or partner, if you were in this position?
P.S.S I'm building a business strategy tool that uses real-time trends to help companies like yours discover new opportunities and stay ahead—based on your industry, size, and region.
It also provides a clear roadmap, required resources, and actionable steps.
