Disruption: A process whereby a smaller company with fewer resources is able to challenge an established incumbent business.<\/em>
\n– Harvard Business Review<\/em><\/p>\n

We are witnessing a revolution of sorts in the business world. And this is making traditional businesses such as Banks very nervous.

The youth are extremely tech savvy and have access to information at its fingertips (Google on mobile phones). At work, they challenge traditional workplace models and make big demands on IT infrastructure and resources (in the name of increasing productivity and being more collaborative). So, from BYOD (bring your own device) it’s now BYOIT (bring your own IT).\u00a0 And there’s a concept called Shadow IT, which I had written about in a previous post.<\/p>\n

But Digital Disruption has already happened. Consider some prominent examples:<\/p>\n
