Future Boardrooms
Did you know that 75% of companies in the S&P 500 are going to disappear by the year 2030 out of which 50% of them are not born yet? (Babson College and subsequent research)
The rate of change in the marketplace today is unprecedented and exponential.
The big business dilemma is how to make their companies sustainable and thrive in an exponential world.
For this to happen, boardrooms need to look into the future through a “telescope” and yet make key business decisions by looking at their organization through a “microscope”.
We are entering in the 5th industrial revolution now.
