Disrupt or Die!

Successful companies do not just meet customers’ current needs, but anticipate their unstated or future needs. A disruptive product addresses a market that previously didn’t know they could be served. Disruptors have a knack for raising new questions and acting on the potential answers. You can either watch it happen or be a part of it. If you haven’t pivoted or iterated in life and business, you haven’t earned your stripes yet. You have to be willing to be misunderstood, because understanding disruption is hard, but disrupting is even harder. 

In this gripping keynote, Corrine will reveal:
• How business models, not products are key to disruption
• Why it’s easier to disrupt behavior, than build disruptive products
• Why Google, Uber, Tesla, Wealth front are not Disruptive products
• 3 true disruptive ideas and how and why they succeeded

It’s spell bounding, it’s compelling, it will energize you. You will definitely be in awe as she presents 3 world-changing disruptions – you would never have dreamed of. Intertwined with personal life challenges on how Corrine disrupted her life and the momentum she gained from doing that. Captivating, inspirational and truly disruptive. You will walk away feeling propelled, recharged and ready to disturb the status quo.

She will show you how data can support your authenticity rather than your insanity. Data doesn’t really matter, only opinions and stories formed from the data matter.

Wake Up Or Die: Business Battles Are Won...

Speaker Biography

Growing up during the apartheid regime in South Africa opened Corrine’s eyes to life without accessible global intelligence and her thirst for knowledge. Her story and philosophy is brilliantly depicted in her highly rated book Wake Up or Die, based on the Art of War by Sun Tzu. Wake Up or Die goes where no one has dared to go and challenges the status quo.

Her frank and candid approach holds no bars; she believes the pendulum of the mind oscillates between intellect and ignorance, not between right and wrong.

With over 20 years’ experience, Corrine has established a reputation for unparalleled consumer understanding and insight development. She has worked with some of the world’s finest companies and their market-leading products and brands to develop innovative, sustainable and profitable consumer, brand, corporate and trade strategies for diverse industries and product categories.

Corrine is a visionary in her field, constantly pushing boundaries in product development to enhance the industry she is so passionate about. Corrine is the modern day Sun Tzu, her dogmatic approach to winning all business battles, is based on the art of war – Intelligence first. Her book Wake Up or Die is a powerful, exceptionally written treatise on the use of Intelligence in business today.

Corrine explains how to apply ancient military tactics in a modern business economy – to win every battle without waging war. Her fundamental philosophy is no war has been won without intelligence and never will.
