Keynote by Vito Mabrucco, Managing Director, IDC Canada
Global Disruptive Innovations and their Impact on Canada

Why do so many great companies and successful economies eventually fail? What are the global and local conditions that drive the increased level of competition for organizations, countries and regions around the world? How does the long tail of global markets present massive opportunities for Canadian organizations? As barriers of technology, capital, education, information, and trade continue to fall we see the rise of a new world of companies, industries and countries that are disruptive innovators.

Hear how IDC sees these trends and identifies examples of disruptive innovations that challenge, shape, and flatten world markets, and how executives should understand that a disruptive innovation strategy, coupled with the characteristics of the long-tail markets, represents both the opportunity to grow their market share and the risk of succumbing to failure at the hands of insurgent players
