很多創業家成立初創公司並顛覆行業，改變了營運生意的方式，舉例來說，Airbnb徹底改變了旅遊和酒店業的營運模式。「顛覆式創新」由已故哈佛大學教授克萊頓·克里斯坦森（Clayton Christensen）最先提出，他及其團隊於1995年開始詮釋此現象並進行分析。
就像Airbnb案例反映，「顛覆式創新」通常會創造新的市場及價值鏈，因此之故，成功的企業不用等待下一波的初創公司來顛覆他們的行業，許多發展成熟的公司也實踐在內部自行顛覆的營運方式，例如強生公司（Johnson & Johnson）已開發出創新臨床試驗（Clinical Trial Innovation），採用新的方案對臨床試驗進行現代化，提升數據質量，優化病人、客户與研究人員溝通等的業務流程。為了與行業顛覆者競爭，很多公司都必須充份利用內部的顛覆式創新。
是次網絡研討會旨在討論「行業內的顛覆式創新」的相關問題。

Webniar on Disruptive Innovation Within Industries
“Disruptive innovation” happens in every industry. Entrepreneurs achieve disruption by developing start-ups that transform the way business is done. For example, Airbnb has changed the travel and hotel industries. The term “disruptive innovation” was first defined and analysed by the late Clayton M. Christensen, a Harvard University professor, and his team beginning in 1995. It is a powerful way of thinking about innovation-driven growth and organisational development.
A “disruptive innovation” often creates a new market and value network, as in the case of Airbnb. Hence, successful businesses do not wait for the next wave of start-ups to disrupt their industry. Many established companies are disrupting themselves internally. For example, Johnson & Johnson has created the Clinical Trial Innovation (CTI) to develop solutions that will modernize clinical trials, improve data quality, enhance the processes for patients, clients and investigators. To compete with disruptors, many companies need to capitalize on internal disruptive innovation.
This webinar aims to discuss pertinent issues about “Disruptive Innovation Within Industries”.
A summarised account of the webinar is as follows:
