Disruptive Innovation & Solutions in Change (D.I.S.C.)
The Disruptive Innovation & Solutions in Change (D.I.S.C.) Training Course combines disruption thinking with structured change management, so new solutions are designed well and actually adopted. Participants apply design thinking, Kotter and ADKAR frameworks, and adoption metrics to their own transformation initiatives.
Introduction
Change programs fail when they treat disruption as a threat to manage rather than a force to work with. The most effective organizations pair disruptive thinking with structured change solutions, so new ideas survive the journey from concept to adoption. This Disruptive Innovation & Solutions in Change (D.I.S.C.) Training Course gives participants both sides of that equation. Furthermore, it covers disruption diagnosis, business model experimentation, change architecture, stakeholder alignment, and the measurement that proves value. Participants also learn to lead resistance, sustain momentum, and embed change into daily operations. As a result, they leave able to turn disruption into a designed, adopted, and lasting solution.
Disruptive Innovation & Solutions in Change (D.I.S.C.) Course Objectives
- Explain disruptive innovation theory and recognize emerging disruption patterns.
- Diagnose organizational change readiness using structured assessment models.
- Distinguish technical problems from adaptive challenges using the Cynefin framework.
- Apply Kotter's eight-step model and the ADKAR framework to change programs.

FAQs
— What is the "Disruptive Innovation & Solutions in Change (D.I.S.C.)" course about?
It combines disruptive innovation thinking with structured change management. The course covers disruption diagnosis, design thinking and business model design, Kotter and ADKAR change frameworks, stakeholder and resistance management, adoption measurement, and embedding solutions into operations.
— What are the key benefits of the "Disruptive Innovation & Solutions in Change (D.I.S.C.)" course?
Participants design solutions that address real needs rather than assumptions, and they lead change with a plan instead of urgency alone. They also reduce resistance, protect momentum through long programmes, measure adoption honestly, and embed new practices so gains persist after the programme ends.
— What skills will I gain from the "Disruptive Innovation & Solutions in Change (D.I.S.C.)" course?
You will gain disruption and change diagnosis, disruptive solution design, change architecture and stakeholder engagement, and adoption measurement and embedding. These four skills work together to move an initiative from disruption pressure to sustained, adopted practice.
— What tools, methods, or standards are covered in the "Disruptive Innovation & Solutions in Change (D.I.S.C.)" course?
The course covers disruptive innovation theory, the Cynefin framework, the four-box framework, design thinking, jobs-to-be-done analysis, the Business Model Canvas, the value proposition canvas, Kotter's eight-step model, the ADKAR framework, power-interest stakeholder mapping, change roadmaps, prototype and pilot testing, lean build-measure-learn cycles, and benefit realization metrics.
— How is the "Disruptive Innovation & Solutions in Change (D.I.S.C.)" course applied in real-world practice?
Participants assess change readiness in their own organization, design a solution concept and prototype, and build a change roadmap using Kotter and ADKAR. They practice stakeholder conversations and resistance handling through role-play, then complete a 90-day plan for leading their initiative.
