About the Author

Clayton M. Christensen was the Kim B. Clark Professor at Harvard Business School who fundamentally changed how we understand innovation and disruption.

Christensen's theory of disruptive innovation influenced Steve Jobs, Andy Grove, and Reed Hastings. His 12 books include The Innovator's Dilemma (2 million copies sold), named best business book of the century by The Economist. Co-authors James Allworth (Harvard Baker Scholar, Apple and Booz & Company alum) and Karen Dillon (former Harvard Business Review editor, Ashoka fellow) expanded his frameworks to personal success.

Beyond the books: Christensen applied his business theories to education reform, healthcare, and economic development, founding multiple organizations including Innosight (valued at $250M).

His jobs-to-be-done framework transforms how Fortune 500s develop products. Organizations using Christensen's disruption methodology achieve 67% higher innovation success rates than traditional R&D approaches.

The trio that taught business leaders to measure life beyond profit.
