Abstract

Disruptive innovations may serve both good and ill causes. This means that disruption can stimulate positive outcomes or tip people and organizations into chaos. The Langston Center for Innovation in Quality and Safety plays a moderating role by ensuring that innovations consider the upstream and downstream consequences potentiated by change initiatives characterized by a rapid implementation cycle. Drawing on change management and implementation science approaches, human factor variables are intentionally considered to generate acceptance of substantive disruptions.
