Staff

From directors to fellows, and leadership to admin, everyone who works at the Clayton Christensen Institute does so with purpose and passion for ideas.

CCI staff meeting

We’re all people who, for very different reasons, feel a deep conviction that if we don’t innovate, our world will not only be stuck in the past but radically less equal than it ought to be. We also want to dig into the nitty-gritty of the process of innovation and the conditions where innovation can occur so that we’re not just advertising the next shiny object but providing a path forward for real systems change.

— Julia Freeland Fisher

Some of us started as practitioners in our respective fields and came to realize that theory provides a lens to determine more effective solutions to stubborn challenges. Others read Clayton Christensen’s books—like, How Will You Measure Your Life?—and never looked at the world the same way again. But all of us have embraced theory as a way to see around the corner into an innovation-focused future.
