A structured process for understanding and responding to the 2nd and 3rd order effects of systemic change.
We are on the precipice of several generational transformations that will reshape the global system, creating opportunity and risk for all organizations.
Markets evolve in steps–long incremental growth followed by short periods of transformation. Transformation reorders market and geopolitical hierarchies, creating winners, losers, and new entrants. Adapting to these shifts in large, efficient organizations is structurally difficult, even in the best organizations. History demonstrates that most incumbents are diminished during these periods of transformation.
Technology is shortening the cycle time between the catalysts that ignite these transformations. Simultaneously, globalization continues to increase the horizontal diffusion of change–everything is connected, and we have become more exposed to the effects of change in other industries and regions than ever before. Maintaining global situational awareness through traditional channels is difficult, as the media has become an entertainment business.
