It’s no longer enough to learn from experience. All around us, the old order is collapsing. Ideas, systems, and strategies that once seemed rock-solid are crumbling under the onslaught of new technologies, new attitudes, new ways of thinking and doing.
The faster things change, the less relevant experience becomes. There are no precedents for the dramatic changes that are shaping the business environment of the 21st Century, so we must learn from the future. Here are the 10 key lessons to help you build the right future for you, your business and your investments. These emerge from our exploration of the past and future scenarios and create essential business and personal imperatives for today.
In today’s warp-speed world, you have to learn from the future.
"Provocative and entertaining as ever, Wolfgang teaches us that change is to be embraced with excitement rather than fear."
