Adam Hartung's approach to business growth is counterintuitive, provocative – and effective. In fact, he says, “If you apply my methods, I can guarantee you success.” He backs that bold claim up with a track record of results from 20 years of practical experience in developing and implementing strategies to take advantage of emerging technologies and new business models. Today, he writes, consults and speaks worldwide. His book, Create Marketplace Disruption: How to Stay Ahead of the Competition (Financial Times Press, 2008), helps leaders and managers create evergreen organizations that produce above-average returns.
