Technology is driving civilization’s transformation from analog to digital. This is now every leader’s most pressing challenge.
Information is relayed not in minutes or seconds, but nanoseconds. The development of new products and services has never been faster, easier or cheaper. And key decisions and analyses once made by humans, are now the domain of intelligent machines.
The Anticipant Organization is a survival guide for those who are leading their organizations into the digital future. It’s about how to anticipate crises before they hit, and how to thrive in a world of constant disruption.
To learn more, read the eBook by Mark J. Barrenechea, Major-General (Ret.) David Fraser and Tom Jenkins, with a special preface by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web. Get the full book, and check out the interactive preview below.
