On this episode of LID Radio Podcast, we're joined by Alberto Torres, author of The Z-Curve: Navigating Your Business Through Technological Disruption.
About Alberto Torres
Alberto Torres is a consultant, CEO and board member with 30 years' experience in the tech industry. He is currently a Senior Adviser at McKinsey & Co, a member of the International Advisory Board at Adobe, and an Adjunct Professor at IE Business School. He is based in Madrid, Spain.
About The Z-Curve
No other force has determined the fate of corporations like technology disruption. Over the last few decades, giants like Apple, Amazon, Google and NVIDIA have emerged, while once household names like Xerox, Nokia, AOL and Blockbuster have disappeared or been reduced to shadows of their former selves. With new forces like generative and agentic AI, quantum computing and genetic engineering on the horizon, most business executives will have to deal with disruption in the foreseeable future. The Z-Curve provides an original framework to understand the mechanisms of disruption, why it is so difficult for managers to recognise and deal with, and most importantly, what can be done to survive and thrive in the face of it. Drawing on stories of companies that have failed and succeeded, Alberto distils key lessons for anticipating and managing disruption in business.

404: Australia: A Lighthouse in the Global Storm with Adam Dixon
On this episode of LID Radio Podcast, we're joined by Adam Dixon, co-author of Australia: A Lighthouse in the Global Storm: The CEO Imperative.
About Adam Dixon
Adam Dixon is the Managing Partner of global consulting firm Kearney's Australia and New Zealand operations. He is based in Sydney, and this book draws on contributions from Adam and Kearney's Australia Partner Team.
About Australia: A Lighthouse in the Global Storm
Australia is often called the "lucky country," a large, mineral rich land mass with a relatively small population, advanced infrastructure, a stable government and a well functioning society. By nearly every measure, it is one of the world's most successful countries. But as Australia: A Lighthouse in the Global Storm argues, that advantage must be persistently earned, today and in the decades ahead, in the face of constant business disruption and increasing geopolitical instability. The book is aimed at Australia's business leaders and addresses four transformational themes key to the country's stability and growth: leadership at a time of moral confusion, culture versus AI, achieving structural productivity gains, and redesigning global supply chains for resilience. It then examines seven of Australia's most important industry sectors and the role these themes will play in their development. In short, this is a manifesto setting out the crucial actions and directions for Australia's business leaders to follow, to ensure their organizations continue to thrive and that Australia maintains its special advantages on the world stage.
