Entrepreneurship: Disruptive change for inventing the future

According to Peter F Drucker, Entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it and exploits it as an opportunity. The five requisite skills that make up disruptive innovators DNA have been identified by early researchers in Harvard Business Review. Coexistence of the five skills in entrepreneurs - associating, behavioral, questioning, observing, networking and experimenting skills can result in disruptive innovation. The launch of Kindle by Amazon's Jeff Bezos is such an ideal example to quote one among many such disruptive innovations. The truth is even global leaders like Google is able to allocate only 10% of its engineering time for disruptive innovation. Modern developments in cutting-edge technologies that enhance human capabilities play a crucial role in achieving such goals. Success depends on analysing whether modern corporations are making innovation everybody's job, disruptive innovation is included in the innovation portfolio, able to take smart risks and to ensure that cross functional think tanks exist. Success of such teams lie in turning second layer members into top notch innovators.

Kalpatha 2013 is providing a platform for dissecting the skill set for disruptive innovation cutting across the boundaries of all functional departments and the resulting formation of cross-functional process oriented teams that aim to turn every employee into an innovator or an even more ambitious target of turning them to disruptive innovators.
