Cybersecurity. Biotechnology. AI. Wars. Pandemics. Environmental Devastation. Terrorism. Innovative Products/Services. Politics. Energy Transition. Supply Chain.

Any one event – or an intersecting confluence of changes – can rewrite the world’s economic landscape overnight and alter the fate of industries, businesses, professions, and nations. Trillions of dollars are at stake, not to mention the significant human costs. We know disruption and change are always just around the corner. The far-reaching effects are inevitable, posing both unprecedented challenges and once-in-a-generation opportunities to creatively and virtuously change our futures. Are you and your organization prepared to seize this moment?

A leading global futurist, venture capitalist, and best-selling author, Roger Spitz has written an intriguing - if not definitive - roadmap on how one can navigate confidently through uncertain futures and actually thrive. Disrupt With Impact: Achieve Business Success In An Unpredictable World (Kogan Page, September 2024) provides insightful and practical strategies, proven frameworks, and game-changing guidance to help leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, and policy-makers to not only defend against potentially threatening events, but to be in a position to take advantage of these opportunities.

“Disrupt With Impact is the ultimate guide to thriving in today’s complex global business landscape,” asserts Spitz. “It empowers you to navigate escalating uncertainty and relentless change by rethinking strategic decision-making.”

Spitz has conducted years of original research and worked with numerous companies in various industries around the world, helping them to harness a competitive advantage in the face of inevitable change and uncertainty.

His breakthrough book zeroes in on these four key areas:
1. Understanding what is different about the nature of disruption today.
2. How to drive innovative and transformative change.
3. The future of Artificial Intelligence, strategic decision-making, and technology.
4. How to unleash your disruptive thinking.

“Imagine navigating through uncharted waters with a compass or GPS calibrated for the unpredictable,” poses Spitz. “Disruption’s dual nature means it can destroy and create value. The true impact of innovation lies in catalyzing positive transformation across our complex systems. As the complexities of our world grow, the inherent uncertainty of the future intensifies. We confront this unpredictability, discarding tired and outdated formulas, recognizing the diminishing effectiveness of pre-cooked playbooks.”

Disrupt With Impact shares:
- How to embrace the future with resilience and foresight.
- Distilled futures intelligence that was garnered from advising some of the most prestigious global organizations.
- How CEOs, founders, boards, and policy-makers can create sustainable value in the face of uncertainty, disruption, and scaled competitiveness.
- How massive change can ignite hope, unlock new possibilities, and catalyze transformations across systems.
- The myths and misconceptions leaders must avoid when making critical decisions to address major disruptive shifts from AI, sustainability, cybersecurity, and geopolitics.

“Disrupt With Impact is not about fleeting trends, specific predictions, or the latest technology fads,” asserts Spitz. “The world does not need another generic techno-optimist book narrowly focused on formulaic innovation or business optimization recipes. Disrupt With Impact prioritizes signals over noise, investigating the fundamentals that propel change and evaluating their impacts.”
