<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Disrupted is a distillation of the wisdom of Resilient Futures', Strategy in Action (SiA), a framework designed to support teams and leaders to leverage-rather than fall prey to- exponential, disruptive change. Readers are asked to question: What are the disruptors that will or may impact your organization, and, how will you leverage them?<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>"People don't get exponential" - Nicholas Negroponte</strong></p> <p><strong>In the next 5 years, global Machine-to-Machine connections will grow by 400% from 5 billion to over 20 billion. In the past six years Uber has grown from a mere app to a 50 billion-dollar business. The driverless electric car is a reality, and the noxious methane gas that once escaped the Artic Ocean in meter-wide plumes now bubbles out of the water in kilometer-wide columns. </strong></p> <p>This is exponential change... and it's happening now!</p> <p>We are in an environment where the exponential "elbows" of multiple systems are converging and disrupting lives and organizations at an accelerated rate. Disruptive change is turning business models upside-down, destroying legacy value, and opening the possibility for revolutionary futures to emerge across all industries.</p> <p>This is new territory. And if there was ever a time we needed to "get exponential" - it is now! And in this environment organizations have two choices: leverage disruptive, exponential change to generate new value or fall afoul of its consequences.</p> <p>In the convergence of accelerating change, the strategic planning processes of yesteryear are inadequate. Tenuous visions and missions framed across five to ten-year time horizons are predicated on a slower pace of life. Too often, these approaches produce irrelevant strategies with rapidly diminishing shelf lives and little power to inspire team members, let alone leverage exponential change.</p> <p><em>Disrupted </em>is a distillation of the wisdom of Resilient Futures', Strategy in Action (SiA), a framework designed to support teams and leaders to leverage--rather than fall prey to-- exponential, disruptive change.</p> <p><em>Disrupted</em> is a guidebook to the exponential era and a toolbox for proactively leveraging this change. By exploring well-known examples of disruption-opportunists like Apple and Tesla Motors, <em>Disrupted</em> helps readers to understand the kind of "strategic thinking" that allow teams and leaders to confidently pursue opportunities with a shared strategic language, and a methodology designed for timely and agile execution at all levels of their organization.</p> <p>In <em>Disrupted</em> we are challenged to confront exponential change and ask ourselves: </p> <p>"<strong>What are our disruptors, and how will we leverage them?"</strong></p>
