[ONLINE] - Disruptive Innovation Where You Least Expect It

"Disruptive innovation" is a term much in vogue these days to describe a lot of what happens in Silicon Valley. But large, complex organizations need to become adaptive learners across the entirety of the US economy, leveraging technology to meet our societal challenges and aspirations. Our major public universities and intercontinental railroads are examples of great 19th Century American icons that remain vital to our future. Join us to hear how Union Pacific Railroad and Arizona State University have sought to transform themselves from their initial design blueprints to fulfill their respective missions, and how the global pandemic accelerated their appreciation for the need to continue innovating, and scale the process of organizational learning and adaptation.
