Clayton Christensen, "The Survivor"

[_Daniel Peterson]

Forbes has a lengthy but very good, even inspiring, cover story

http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2011/0314/ ... vivor.html

on my old friend Clayton Christensen, whom I have known since our freshman year at BYU and who was one of the first contributors to "Mormon Scholars Testify":

I applaud your efforts in exposing us to high quality individuals like Clayton Christensen. The linked information has already been of some value to me.

Not that I am looking to open a discussion, but the Forbes article and Clayton's web site got me to pondering whether there may have been disruptive innovations in religion. Something to consider.

Thanks, -Wade Englund-

. . . the Forbes article and Clayton's web site got me to pondering whether there may have been disruptive innovations in religion. Something to consider.

That question was ever in any doubt?

Do you mean to tell us that you've looked at, say, fundamentalist Islam and failed to notice any disruptive innovations therein?

I refer readers to my sig line for some background information and a possible clue as to why this odd thread exists.


Here is an article - published in a venue very similar to Mormon Times - that I found relevant to this thread: http://www.stuffhollywoodassistantslike ... pping.html

LOL! Cute article!

So, Eric, since you're in that neck of the woods, have you ever met anyone famous? Name drop, I beg you! ;-)

I apologize for my insensitivity.

I have lots of friends, and I take the idea of multiple friendships for granted. It's all too easy to forget that, for some unfortunates, to claim to have a friend might seem to be to boast about an essentially unbelievable achievement.

LOL. Am I mad?

Nope. I'm head out the door for dinner with friends from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, which will be followed by a Chanticleer concert.

Mad? Not even slightly. Don't flatter yourself.

Yes! More! LOL. You sir are a comedic genius.

I've noticed disruption, though I am not sure it would amount to innovation. Were you assuming that all disruptions are innovative?
