{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"The Z-Curve with Alberto Torres","description":"On this episode of LID Radio Podcast, we're joined by Alberto Torres, author of The Z-Curve: Navigating Your Business Through Technological Disruption.\n\nAbout Alberto Torres\n\nAlberto Torres is a consultant, CEO and board member with 30 years' experience in the tech industry. He is currently a Senior Adviser at McKinsey & Co, a member of the International Advisory Board at Adobe, and an Adjunct Professor at IE Business School. He is based in Madrid, Spain.\n\nAbout The Z-Curve\n\nNo other force has determined the fate of corporations like technology disruption. Over the last few decades, giants like Apple, Amazon, Google and NVIDIA have emerged, while once household names like Xerox, Nokia, AOL and Blockbuster have disappeared or been reduced to shadows of their former selves. With new forces like generative and agentic AI, quantum computing and genetic engineering on the horizon, most business executives will have to deal with disruption in the foreseeable future. The Z-Curve provides an original framework to understand the mechanisms of disruption, why it is so difficult for managers to recognise and deal with, and most importantly, what can be done to survive and thrive in the face of it. Drawing on stories of companies that have failed and succeeded, Alberto distils key lessons for anticipating and managing disruption in business.","author_name":"LID Radio","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/4915097-lid-radio","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/43837096/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":""}
