Disruption is the business world's favorite buzzword, but innovation veteran Costas Papaikonomou calls it a costly fallacy. In his provocative new book, The Disruption Fallacy, he argues that meaningful progress doesn't come from smashing the system-it comes from working smarter with what's already there. Aimed at business leaders and particularly manufacturers of everyday consumer goods, this is a wake-up call for an industry drowning in hype.Papaikonomou, co-founder of Happen Group-a global innovation agency that delivered over $5 billion in revenue growth for clients before its 2019 sale to Accenture-draws on 30 years of hands-on experience and hundreds of successful product launches. From supermarket staples to industrial flops, he's seen it all. His verdict? "Innovation is a tool, not a goal. Disruption is often just noise that distracts from real results."With sharp wit and battle-tested insights, The Disruption Fallacy dismantles the obsession with "move fast and break things." Papaikonomou offers a better way: practical, low-risk innovation that leverages existing production assets.
