Business speaker Costas Markides is a top strategy and innovation specialist. Professor Markides is a well-regarded teacher and conference speaker who has conducted an extensive study on business model innovation, strategic innovation, international acquisitions, and diversification.
A major focus of his study is on how established organizations might explore radical or disruptive innovation. He also looks at how such organizations can compete with two different business models within the same field. Aspects of his research include how businesses may cultivate continuous innovation.

Costas Markides Keynote Topics
In today’s hypercompetitive world, innovation is the only source of competitive advantage. Organizations must continuously innovate to stay one step ahead of competition. But innovation is not just creativity; and it is not just the province of top management. For innovation to become a source of competitive advantage, it must be institutionalized so that it takes place anywhere and at anytime in the organization. How to institutionalize innovation is a real challenge for companies and this presentation will provide insights on how to do it. Top management has a key role to play in this and we will also explore how the top people can set the right example in the organization. Real life examples will be provided to support the generalizations made.
How can established firms respond to disruptive innovators that are invading their markets? This presentation will identify several lessons that we have learned from academic research on how to respond to disruption successfully and highlight these lessons using real company examples and evidence from academic studies. In the process, we will identify several mistaken beliefs and half-truths about disruption that seem to cloud the thinking of senior managers everywhere.
There are several strategies that can help a company grow but a particularly effective one is the strategy of “breaking the rules” or strategic innovation. Prominent examples of companies that adopted this strategy include Enterprise in the car-rental business; EasyJet in the airline industry; and Amazon in the retail sector. But what exactly is this strategy? And how can a company do it successfully, especially if it already has a successful business to run? These are the questions that I shall attempt to answer in this presentation using real company examples to highlight my main messages.
