>> giant enterprises are ignorant and ripe for disruption because of their arrogance -- the classical model of hubris

Was this the main reason for disruption ? as i understand it, most often it came from knowing that disruption most likely will greatly reduce revenues/profits and hurt the stock , at least at the short term, coupled with a short term focus that's just embedded in our economy.

The hubris was mostly just talk.

Also a question since you come from the field: how does predix compare with the thingworx OS(which seem to be extremely capable, but expensive) ?



I'm in a different part of the technical world, so I couldn't fairly compare those things.

I work on Cloud Foundry as an opensource contributor for Pivotal, not directly on Predix for GE (or BlueMix for IBM, or Helion for HP etc).
