The ubiquity of digital technology and internet connectivity is driving both new and old players across all industries to invest in new capabilities, define new business models, and compete in new ways. From software to automobiles, from healthcare to financial services, models for value creation and value capture are evolving rapidly. At Cutter Consorium’s 2016 Summit , Professor Karim R. Lakhani provided attendees with insight into how organizations are transforming — going far beyond simply remaining relevant, and to become innovative leaders in new and varied industries.
