Colleagues describe him as "Michael Putz is one of the few people I would consider a true master of disruptive innovation. Not only has he driven disruptive change in software, voice and data communications for Cisco and major service providers, he has made important contributions to disruptive innovation theory. Clayton Christensen and I first worked with Michael on a joint research project to assess how disruptive innovation might re-shape the telecommunications industry. Michael uniquely blended the critical thinking of a thought leader with the bias to action of a practitioner to drive towards useful recommendations while simultaneously shaping the core disruptive innovation theory. He played a vital role in developing a more general approach to using the theories of innovation to predict industry change, which Christensen, Erik Roth, and I described in Seeing What’s Next. Michael has also done extensive work on the leadership challenges of disruptive innovation. He brings fresh perspectives that are both rigorous and practical, making him an ideal strategic adviser and driver of new growth businesses for any executive standing on the brink of a market transition." and "Michael is an accomplished strategist who helped Cisco capture the growth potential of major market transitions in software, service provider data, and VoIP. He is distinguished by his ability to recognize what it takes to win in a new market, and to help senior leaders navigate the internal changes that must be made to accommodate new customers, partners, and competitors. Michael is a valuable asset for any organization looking to leverage disruptive innovation to accelerate growth."
