Panelists From Divvy, Uber And Kickstarter To Discuss The "Sharing Economy" At The Executives' Club Of Chicago Program

CHICAGO, March 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Disruptive innovation is happening broadly in the new "sharing economy," where companies such as Divvy, Uber and Kickstarter are taking peer-to-peer to a new level.

As the sharing economy becomes more prevalent, the potential for market disruption grows as well, challenging the playbook of existing markets. If not already, organizations may soon be faced with a choice between aligning with this new structure, partnering with a sharing economy company, or fighting an uphill battle against new economic and consumer trends.

Panelists from companies who are successfully implementing this collaborative consumption model will discuss these issues and the rise of the collaborative consumer at The Executives' Club of Chicago Leadership Circle Program on Tuesday, March 24.
