We reframe stubborn problems through the lens of theory
We help people push past the status quo toward meaningful progress
The Clayton Christensen Institute enables leaders to radically improve entire sectors through rigorous research and community empowerment. Using Disruptive Innovation and other theories developed by Harvard Business School Professor Clayton Christensen, we develop a clearer understanding of how the world works so we can create purposeful progress in our world. Where traditional solutions to seemingly intractable challenges fall short, teaching theories and conducting applied research can bridge chasms between current realities and societal progress.
