Dr . Ted Ladd
Global Research Team Lead for Creating Disruption
Here are a few of the projects currently being worked on by the team :
• What impact do the UN Global Goals have on business strategy and companygovernment relations ? Are these principles creating new markets and disrupting old ones ?
• How has climate change disrupted traditional business practices and promoted the shift to sustainable routes in rural communities in Mexico ? How have the surrounding communities adapted to the impact of climate change ?
• The market for financial services has been radically disrupted by innovations that involve social groups : peer-to-peer lending , micro-lending , crowd-funding etc . Do the commonalities across these innovations point to a recipe for creating , anticipating , or accelerating disruptive innovations in financial services ?
• How can health care professionals , especially female nurses , most effectively start private companies outside of the hospital as both a driver and a reaction to the disruption in health care delivery systems ?
