Duncan Wardle is the Former Head of
 Innovation & Creativity at the Walt Disney
 Company. He is a provocative and results-
 driven business consultant, who applies his
 creative talents and unconventional methods
 to help companies and individuals get to those
 breakthrough ideas that lead to extraordinary
 results.

 With the next decade shaping up quickly to be the most
 disruptive decade in over a century, companies that
 have continually iterated to achieve quarterly results will
 now find themselves needing to innovate just to survive.
