Relevance in the age of disruption

Disruption is no longer merely a single or recurring event, but a steady state, expanding its impact. In short, while disruption has always existed, it is now disrupting itself.

Increasing Cost of Business as Usual

It is not new that we all make wrong assumptions about the world. The issue today is that the cost of relying on those incorrect assumptions is increasing.

With time, all assumptions magnify and amplify; wrong assumptions cascade and blow up.

 Sustainability, even beyond climate, requires humanity to develop the capabilities and mindsets to think and prepare more imaginatively both for resiliency to shocks as well as to capture new opportunities.
