5 KEY TOPICS FROM THE BOOK “DISRUPT WITH IMPACT”

1. Disruption is a constant

Welcome to the end of trends. No longer a single or recurring event, disruption is now a steady state expanding its impact. Creating impactful change requires shake-ups to break from the shortcomings of the status quo. Disruption’s dual nature means it can destroy and create value; its impact hinges on perspective, preparation, and timing of any responses. In Disrupt With Impact, Roger Spitz coins the term Metaruptions, an abbreviation of disruption with the prefix “meta”, to contrast with Metatrends. A metaruption is a multidimensional family of systemic disruptions that cause widespread, self-perpetuating effects, including shifts in the notion of disruption itself. Metaruptions are characterized by the dynamic interactions of subordinate drivers of change. As initial changes spill over, the impacts of metaruptions combine to modify other elements, ultimately disrupting the disruption itself.

2. Systems innovation for impact and sustainable value creation

The true impact of innovation lies in catalyzing positive transformations across our complex systems. Addressing the world’s most critical challenges impactfully requires exercising our agency to achieve systems-level change and innovation, not isolated fixes. Disrupt With Impact provides indispensable frameworks to create sustainable value amidst these monumental shifts. Disruption’s power is not its disruptiveness, but the ability to unlock new possibilities.

3. A new operating system for today’s unpredictable world

As the complexities of our world grow, the inherent uncertainty of the future intensifies. Too often, we act on flawed assumptions, believing in a world that is predictable, linear, stable, and controllable. However, in the face of constant change, the cost of maintaining business as usual rises significantly. Foresight gives us the agency to explore multiple possible futures, challenge assumptions, and move beyond the status quo.

4. The future of artificial intelligence and strategic decision-making

AI is taking over areas previously thought too important to entrust to machines. Thus far, humans have excelled at decision-making, but our comparative advantage may not last. Ultimately, anything that can be automated, cognified, decentralized, digitized, disintermediated, or virtualized will be. We use the AAA Framework (Antifragile, Anticipatory, and Agility), which humans should develop to remain relevant as machines are learning fast.

5. Clearly delineated “industries” and “sectors” are disappearing

In the next chapter of digital disruption, clearly delineated “industries” or “sectors” of yesterday are disappearing. Once-reliable boundaries are spilling over. From agriculture to construction, industries are converging, fusing, and transforming. Clearly delineated activities and assets are dissolving. Previously separate verticals now collaborate within new ecosystems, defying traditional classifications. Leaders, investors, and analysts should adopt new filters to evaluate companies and their fields. The futures are hybrid; in this liminal world, there are no industry boundaries.

The World Is Too Complex to Be Reducible. Source: Disruptive Futures Institute.

In Part Two, we unpack how to achieve systems-level change to create sustainable value. Surface-level innovations fall short in addressing the complexity of our challenges. As the world’s fundamental paradigms are increasingly changing, we need to account for constant disruption, which is giving rise to monumental shifts in value and business models. Those who fail to embrace sustainable change risk irrelevance. To use systemic disruption as a springboard for creating impact and value, we need to be antifragile, learn from the software industry to beta test our ideas, and think across varying time horizons. In this context, we delve into Greenaissance — an era marked by renewal, momentous innovation, and investment opportunities, all aligned with the common goal of achieving a sustainable energy transition. We also explore how the clearly delineated “sectors” of yesterday are disappearing, as industries converge and new fields emerge.

Chapter 5. Disruption as a springboard for creating impact and value

Synopsis: Antifragile value creation across time horizons. Disruption presents both opportunities for value creation and risks of value erosion. Relevance is the key driver of impact. To achieve and sustain relevance, we must invest in human capital, “beta test” ideas, establish antifragile foundations for resilience, and think across varying time horizons.

Relevance drives impact
Antifragile foundations for value creation
Thinking in different time horizons
Three Horizons for transformative change

Chapter 6. Harnessing systems innovation to solve our complex challenges

Synopsis: Driving transformation with systems innovation. Climate change, societal paradigm shifts, emerging technologies; the world’s most critical challenges are complex. Addressing these requires systems-level change, not isolated fixes. Systems innovation is instrumental to identifying and harnessing effective levers to enable widespread change across complex systems.

Vanishing industry boundaries
Perception and immersive storytelling
Liminal sectors and hybrid fields

PART THREE. The future of artificial intelligence, strategic decision-making and technology

Being AAA+. Source: Disruptive Futures Institute.

This section examines the defining technologies of the upcoming decade and their potential for growth, disruption, and unintended consequences. We dive into the profound impact of artificial intelligence on strategic decision-making. We also examine “info-ruption” — a radical shift in the disruption of information, presenting new phenomena like weaponized disinformation and global cybersecurity threats. At the core of our investigation lies the “AAA” framework — Antifragile, Anticipatory, and Agility. These essential skills are key to decision-making in an increasingly unpredictable world where machines continuously learn.

Chapter 9. Evaluating next-order impacts of exponential technologies

Synopsis: Technology, innovation and unintended consequences. What are the features of technology, its powers and unintended consequences? How can we anticipate future impacts in a complex technological world? We cannot predict the future, but we can gain insights to help us understand emerging technologies that will deeply impact society and humanity.

Technology’s power
Unintended consequences and anticipatory governance
Looking ahead: From possible futures to multiple present realities

Chapter 10. Our AAA Framework: A survival guide for staying relevant in the age of AI

Synopsis: Decision-making and relevance in the age of AI. AI is taking over areas previously thought too important to entrust to machines. Thus far, humans have excelled at decision-making, but our comparative advantage may not last. We use the Antifragile, Anticipatory, and Agility (AAA) framework to explore these traits, which humans should develop to improve their abilities as machines are learning fast.

Fifty shades of AI
The future of AI: Decision-making no longer a human exclusive
Being AAA in the age of AI
Agility to emerge despite uncertainty
Agency and alignment to become AAA+

Chapter 11. Info-ruption: The internet of existence, cyber insecurity and disrupted information

Synopsis: Information disrupted. “Info-ruption” refers to a pervasive and radical shift in how information is interpreted, used, and misused. With daily cybersecurity breaches, Weapons of Mass Disinformation (WMD), and the Internet of Existence (IoE), should information literacy be prioritized akin to language education? Epistemic security now rivals the significance of national security.

Information: Our new substrate
The Internet of Existence (IoE)
Cyber insecurity: Big business, high stakes
Info-ruption: Weapons of mass disinformation
