It’s not incompetence, but competence, that causes companies to be disrupted. That applies to big companies and small, as well as people too. Or so argue Clayton Christensen and Marc Andreessen in this podcast, based on a conversation at Startup Grind (moderated by Derek Anderson) between the CFI co-founder and Harvard Business School professor Christensen — aka the “father of disruption theory” (also known to his wife as “the Jewish mother of business”).
This podcast shares everything from their views on managing innovation in companies like Apple, Google, and Twitter (including how to apply the jobs-to-be-done framework there); what the abundance of capital means for innovation; and how to truly measure success and strike work-life balance.
Marc Andreessen is a Cofounder and General Partner at the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.
