The Clayton Christensen Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank in Lexington, Massachusetts, focused on understanding and applying disruptive innovation. Founded on the theories of Harvard professor Clayton Christensen, it provides research-based frameworks to illuminate a range of societal challenges and the role of market-creating innovations in addressing them. The organization aims to support policymakers and educators through rigorous analysis grounded in disruption theory, offering insights rather than advocacy. In 2023, the institute launched the Market-Creating Innovation Bootcamp for Policymakers to foster a common language around market creation. It has pursued collaborations with other research and education groups, including an 18-month pilot study with the American Institutes for Research to improve students' career connections.
