Why Join?

In 1995, Clayton Christensen and Joseph Bower revealed that even as technology and markets evolve, businesses face a familiar, ongoing challenge:

“One of the most consistent patterns in business is the failure of leading companies to stay at the top of their industries when technologies or markets change.”

This insight holds as true today as it did nearly 30 years ago—not just for companies but also for nonprofits, governments, sectors, and individuals alike. Fortunately, frameworks and theories such as Disruptive Innovation empower us to navigate these challenges and make meaningful progress.

Much like riding ocean waves, understanding market changes and disruptive forces requires recognizing patterns and knowing when to act. Expert surfers assess swells and conditions, and pick the perfect wave to ride. As the world’s foremost authority on Disruptive Innovation, we guide our community to do just that—using proven theories to make sense of complex market dynamics and successfully harness the waves of disruption.

The best part is that you don’t have to navigate the waves of disruption alone. That’s why we launched our membership program, designed for innovators and leaders just like you. Together, we can create a better future by utilizing the powerful frameworks that unlock insight and opportunity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Innovators, leaders, entrepreneurs, founders, CXOs, and/or anyone interested in navigating disruption and harnessing Disruptive Innovation to drive change in their company or organization. Anyone is welcome to join.

You can choose between two membership options: Basic and Premium. Each offers different levels of access and benefits.

Both memberships are available as:

  • Monthly subscriptions (renews automatically each month)
  • Yearly subscriptions (renews automatically each year)

Purchases are securely processed through Stripe. You can cancel your subscription at any time.

For now, we will email all members ahead of the webinars with an access link, but there is no login to a separate platform to access the webinars.

All the webinars will be recorded. After they conclude, we’ll email a link to watch the recorded webinar, usually within 24 hours.

The webinars are invite-only for current members. However, some might be open to the general public for a small one-time fee. You can also invite them to sign up for a membership.

Everyone is welcome to join this membership. While many of our webinars and meetings will take place during regular business hours in the United States, we record all the webinars so they can be viewed at a convenient time. Given that we already have members in more than 10 countries, we’ll aim to provide some webinars at times that are more convenient to our international members.

You should receive an email with your purchase receipt and a welcome email. You’re also added to our mailing list and will be notified of our upcoming webinars and events.

We love and appreciate feedback and suggestions from our community. Please email us at info@christenseninstitute.org.
