You understand that incumbents are rarely those who reinvent a business, but industries, segments and brands are disrupted by newcomers. By ideas that were not generated "in-house" within existing corporations but by people with an outside view who focus on fixing one pain point for consumers and strive to bring a better solution. How do you ensure that this does not happen to your brand? How do you inspire people to think differently? Your team has the expert knowledge which is indispensable. But it also makes you vulnerable because too much knowledge can prevent from seeing the change.

You also know that your brand has a much bigger potential in terms of revenue and profit growth. If you manage a consumer good brand it is very likely that you work in a category where overall share movements are more or less flat, retailer brands are growing and hyper competition means that price discounts and deep promotions are your typical tool to "survive" and maybe achieve low single digit growth (in best case). Sounds familiar? And if you work for a luxury brand you probably face the dilemma of how to grow without diluting your brand too much with entry level offers. How do you ensure that your teams are not only reacting to competition but stay ahead and show intellectual leadership? How do you make sure that they have the mindset of elevating their brands and building up equity instead of trading down equity for what we call "easy growth"? How do you inspire your team to grow beyond the comfort zone and accelerate revenue and profit expansion by actually creating value, connecting stronger with your consumers, inspiring your consumers with more disruptive innovation and creating superior experiences that actually make them want to buy your brand at almost any price?

To bring change into your organization, you need to challenge the status quo. Yesterday's strategies will not work anymore in a world of hyper competition and disruption by technology, Millennials and Generation Z. New ways of thinking are important.
