Navigating Uncertainty: How Adaptability Drives Success

The compounding nature of tech driven innovation, a shrinking world, exponential growth in data, mushrooming communication, computational power and tomorrow's businesses being in market today. If you're building your; skills, career, team and business for today's market then are you really ready for tomorrow. The last 30 years has seen more change than the previous 100 years - the last decade has seen more change than the previous two. So what is driving these rate of change?

Mastering Modern Choices: From Uncertainty to Empowerment

Humans are terrible decision makers. Yet we let them keep doing it. They make decisions for our businesses day and and day out with limited success and no indication that they're getting better. So why are we so bad at it? What makes us make decisions the way we do? How do we think and how can we do better? A little understanding of these topics might just help our people improve.

A Faster Future: the New Speed of Change

The worst thing you can do is build today's business for tomorrow. While you were building your business, your skills, your network, and your team the world changed. If at the heart of all those things you didn't have adaptability at the core then you were building the wrong thing. The last 30 years has seen more change than the previous 100 years - the last decade has seen more change than the previous two. What is driving these rate of change? To plan for the future we can't plan based on today we have to understand how change happens and plot our course ahead of the curve.

Psychology of Disruption: Getting your brain ready for Innovation

Move than 500,000 years ago homo erectus descended from the trees, walked upright set out across the savanna headed for Silicon Valley. In order to survive certain physical attributes, skills and cognitive mechanisms became part of our make up but unfortunately these were selected based on their ability to keep us alive and not to help us design the future of our industries. Not only are we not designed to innovate we're not psychologically wired to cope with the type of change innovation brings. So with that in mind how can you structure your businesses, work methods and culture to allow your business to become a innovation hot spot with a bright future.
