Omschrijving
The future, as a concept, frightens, fascinates, and excites business leaders in equal measure. The unknowable nature of what tomorrow will bring serves to highlight both potential opportunities and pitfalls. But, too often, leaders focus entirely on a narrow concept--using technology to guard against an ill-defined black swan event--to the exclusion of all other future-focused thinking. In Undisrupted: Leadership Essentials on Business Transformation, Profitability and Future Readiness, renowned futurist, filmmaker, and author Ian Khan delivers a startlingly insightful and exciting new take on how to stop future-proofing your organization and start achieving future readiness. In the book, you'll explore how to handle whatever the future throws at you--good and bad--and how to thrive in the unknown and uncertain. Khan introduces his proprietary Future Readiness ScoreTM, based on his experiences with and research into over 750 organizations, to measure your company's ability and willingness to adapt to an unpredictable future. You'll equip your organization to handle the unexpected twists and turns that the world and its markets inevitably throw your way and learn to stop relying solely on technology to handle your Future Readiness Strategy. Undisrupted explains the seven pillars of future readiness: Engagement, Learning, Collaboration, People, Culture, Innovation, and Execution. It demonstrates how you can not only future-proof your company against negative events, like recessions, pandemics, and wars, but fully prepare it to take advantage of positive events. Perfect for managers, executives, directors, entrepreneurs, founders, and other business leaders, Undisrupted will also prove invaluable to the consultants and other professionals who serve businesses of all sizes, as well as business strategists doing their best to anticipate what tomorrow will bring.
