Cutting-edge guide on embracing change in the business world

Disruption these days is a way of life in the corporate world, so much so as not to generate internal chaos within a business environment when it arises but rather positive change and adaptation when the concept and cause are properly harnessed.
In his new book "Disrupt with Impact," Roger Spitz, a world-leading global futurist and venture capitalist, combines rigorous analysis with practical advice to provide a roadmap for navigating this ever-evolving landscape of business and technology.
