A Blueprint for Disruptive Thinking

1. A Blueprint for Disruptive Thinking If you’re an entrepreneur, you’ve probably already come across the theory of disruptive thinking or innovation. Many entrepreneurs swear by it as their guiding star. However, not many of them truly understand what it is about. They therefore aren’t able to truly harness its power. What it’s all about Disruptive thinking is often misunderstood by entrepreneurs. There have been many different interpretations of the concept that have caused people to move away from the original purpose of the theory. The idea behind disruption is that a smaller company that has fewer resources can challenge a much larger establishment successfully. This is possible because large or more established organizations tend to focus on improving their current products to meet the demand of their most profitable customers and therefore often ignore some segments of the market. For an entrepreneur to be disruptive, they would need to focus on the segment of the market that is being overlooked. They can target this section of the market by delivering a functionality or product that is tailored to suit their needs e.g. products at a lower price. In many cases, the incumbents in the market do not react vigorously since they are chasing higher profits with higher demand segments of the market. Eventually, entrants in the market are able to move up and deliver performance to the mainstream customers of the incumbents and therefore become even greater competition to them. By this time, disruption has occurred.
