HOW TO BE A DISRUPTIVE BUSINESS?

There is a lot of talk about Disruption. Everyone is looking to be the Uber of Something. What does it mean for your business to be Futureproof? How do you ensure that you’re responding to the right technology? What thinking is essential when it comes to rolling your sleeves up and implementing solutions well?

Futureproof explores the three core mindsets and twelve disruptive technologies that you must have in today’s age to help you grow your business, see success and get ready for the next disruption.

“I live by a quote that I once picked up from Tom Peters. The quote is from General Eric Shinseki who said: ‘if you don’t like change, you’re going to like irrelevance even less.’ Disruption affects everyone. B2B, B2C, small, medium and large organizations. Even those who are the disruptors are now being disrupted. What’s a brand to do? Thankfully, Minter Dial and Caleb Storkey have the answer. ​”​​Futureproof, Get Your Business Ready For The Next Disruption” does, exactly, what the title states. Be ready or be disrupted.”

“After many decades of companies forcing mediocre products and services upon consumers who had very little choice, we’re now in an era where buyers are in charge because of the real-time availability of near perfect digital information. As Minter and Caleb show, true disruption comes from deeply understanding consumers and adopting a mindset of serving them in this new world. It’s not easy to disrupt, but the rewards for doing so are enormous.”

“The new mindset of “Ready For Disruption” integrates the best of feminine attributes to balance the old masculine mindset.

AI, IOT, Hackers, Big Data, Genomics — They are all yours to harness for the good of man and womankind. Here is your roadmap to confidently leveraging what is about to explode your potential business opportunity. Read it and reap.”

Susan Bratton, CEO, Personal Life Media, Inc.

“Many people use the words “innovation” and “disruption”. Few people fully understand them. Minter and Caleb are two of the people who do. “Futureproof” will help you to navigate your way through the minefield of innovation (needing to do existing things faster) and preparing for a world of further disruption (where existing business models become obsolete). Learn about the difference between Pi-shaped people and comb-shaped leaders, and educate yourself with everything you need to know about the twelve technological forces which will shape our future. You won’t be disappointed.”

Jeremy Waite, Evangelist at IBM

Ignore its message at your peril.”

It’s both eye-opening and educative, yet fiercely practical. No one in business should be without it.”
