Digital transformation is one of the biggest challenges of large organisations in the 21st century. Most senior executives see the changes happening around them, understand the potential disruptive impacts from technology, but still find it difficult to adapt.

The Disruptive Group helps CEOs, board members and senior executives to navigate this new world by combining a deep insight of technology and business while understanding the specificities of large organisations as well as innovative startups.
