Starting Over: Going Back to Square One

We are at an inflection point/crossroads – We must, in some ways, go back to square one…and that doesn’t mean looking to the past. It means that enterprising businesses have a completely new canvas on which to experiment. Those that have no ability to re-imagine or re-discover will have little ability to be relevant, successful, admired or necessary. There will be no part of any institution that doesn’t have to think about starting over in some way. ...less

We’ve been focusing for years on the likelihood that advanced technology will disintermediate large swaths of human labor. The process has long been happening in traditionally “blue-collar” sectors. But the real news in recent years has been the looming threat posed by technology to more “white collar” jobs. Some analysts put forth aggressive forecasts, while others claim that AI disintermediation is overstated. Little of that matters anymore. Almost overnight, global circumstances have changed to bring about an era that will usher in massive changes to human labor. Whole industries are being forced to pivot in real-time, and permanently, in response to unprecedented conditions. The accelerated disintermediation of human labor across a wide range of sectors will be one of the most fundamentally important outcomes from the current pandemic – regardless of when it finally subsides. ...less

This builds upon the idea that we are currently undergoing a fundamental transformation and restructuring of the global economy. The emergence of a new economic model (which we refer to as The Metaspace Economy) is being catapulted by the confluence of disruptive technologies. By understanding the past, only then can we truly understand WHY the future is unfolding in the way that it is and ushering in a world characterized by greater boundarylessness. ...less

Technological advancements are leading to a world of “templosion” – The Future Hunters’ term to describe the idea that very large things are now happening in shorter periods of time. While change is a constant, the story today is about the pace of change, which is rapidly speeding up and causing major disruptions to happen faster than ever before. This is influencing everything from generational compression to the truncation of strategic and financial planning cycles. It is also leading to the creation of greater business efficiencies through the rapid rise of automation and artificial intelligence (AI). ...less
