I completely agree with Ed's philosophy on DQ, although while he equates it to a CIO given his focus, I have generalized it to leadership, and use it in a similar way to discuss the approach business leaders in the technology industry need to take to grow new untapped markets in developing countries. He is right to attribute it to Clayton Christensen's disruptive innovation theory. I wrote an article recently where I quoted Ed and outline the qualities of a disruptive leader.

One last thing ... DQ made me think of EQ, or emotional intelligence. I think you can't have DQ without EQ.
