This book was written in april 2026 following the launch of Operation Epic Fury against Iran on februari 28th 2026. OSINT learned on 28th that ‘Mosaic Defense" doctrine’ was activated by Iran as a direct response to a massive joint military operation by the United States and Israel, dubbed Operation "Epic Fury" and Operation "Roaring Lion". This operations which targeted Iranian leadership resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Mosaic doctrine transferred authority to autonomous, self-regulating "cells" that operate independently once the central chain of command is broken. In effect it was on 28th foreseeable that the operation failed to destabilize Iran. The war would escalate! The Street of Hormuz would be closed. The cascade was already observed in 2020 & 2022: disruption of supply chains → rising cost of energy → inflation → rate hikes by Central banks → Companies that can not refinance debt and fail. Only this time the shock is a multitude larger. For C-level executives the coming winter of 2026 will prove their measure. Those companies that have executives that can adapt the (IT-)organization might survive. Those companies that have executives being blindsided or hoping to sit it through will fail. Possibly due to the costs of energy and capital, probably by the failure of the supply chains and certainly because the collapse of the internal (IT) organization not able to adjust to rapid external developments. This book was written as an add on to the prior book How to fix the company before it’s broke. The former book was about the restructuring of the (IT) organization to prepare for a shockwave of energy prices. This book offers a field manual for (IT) executives to maximize the performance of the crew in their oiltanker organization during the coming storm. Your tools of the human mind will be found in the grey zone of psychology utilized for a common goal. Knowledge from psychological & management literature was rigorously applied, tempered by personal experience over 20+ years in IT and across sectors and roles. It should give the executive an overview of thinking within organizations and society at large and how the human mind is influenced for good or worse.
