About Us

The Disruption Group was formed to help restore growth to organizations facing commoditization risk. We are a management consulting firm that has delivered quantifiable, tangible results including new revenue, rising margins and reduced time to market for clients in manufacturing, financial services, software, technology and other sectors.

We deliver these results by harnessing the power of disruption.

We are inspired by the writings of the late Peter Drucker, who described "entrepreneurial judo" in 1985, as well as by Harvard Prof. Clayton Christensen, who created the modern framework of disruption in the past 10 years.

While we are students of disruption theory, our team has graduated from the school of the Street. We incorporate disciplined investment-based thinking, rigorous financial analysis, marketing practice, provocative questions, and engineering logic to deliver results.

Led by Michael Urlocker, The Disruption Group has a deep accumulated experience in delivering measurable results to clients. We have a network of seasoned professionals from which we draw to address the unique requirements of each client.
