About the Disruptive Leadership Institute

“The current wave of disruption, including the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the known forces of Industry 4.0 (such as artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics), globalization, geo-political tensions, and demographic change, is reinventing the workforce. Internet technologies have enabled drones and driverless cars, which are transforming supply chains, logistics, health care, and even defense and security, such as the war against terrorism.”

Collaborating with the Centre for Executive Education (CEE), whose mission is to assist leaders in the commercial, public, and non-profit sectors in developing their readiness to survive and thrive in the post-pandemic era of a digital-driven world of work;  we place cutting-edge research at its core, we produce rigorous, independent thinking to offer fresh perspectives on managing the leadership and organizational challenges in a highly disruptive and everchanging workplace of the future.

Combining the power of innovative research techniques with a deep understanding of our client’s industries, our team of researchers and analysts from our extended global network of strategic partners of established human resource management and executive development consulting firms, including Executive Development Associates (EDA), we publish best practices and benchmarking research reports, articles and points of view every year. EDA’s thought-provoking biennial Report on Trends in Executive Development allows us to offer real-world solutions for our clients.

‘Business as usual’ doesn’t exist any longer. With the explosion of global business, leaders are faced with unremitting change and managing through volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity and disruption (collectively known as “VUCAD”). Technology has accelerated the pace of disruption which demands a new generation of leaders who possess ‘disruptive digital leadership’ competencies and demonstrate ‘disruptive mental agility’ to navigate the insurmountable organizational challenges of the digital-driven ‘World-of-Work’ (WOW).
