You'll learn why the most unexpected ideas draw the least competitors--and offer the greatest potential. Then, using many examples and a case study, you'll walk through every step of transforming disruptive ideas from conception to breakthrough business strategy.

Be wrong at the start, to be right at the end
Discover your best disruptive opportunities
Explore the most unexpected corners of your environment
Efficiently shape your disruptive solution
Avoid the resource-killer that is "novelty for novelty's sake"
Make your winning disruptive pitch
Under prepare the obvious, over prepare the unusual
