Description

Growth is shifting, innovation is relentless, disruption is accelerating, expectations are high, and social tensions are rising. Making sense, and making use, of these dramatic forces of change will help you to make better strategic choices, shape markets to your advantage, and create a brighter future.
Everyone talks about "megatrends" ... so what are the most significant forces of change?

Six Global Megatrends Book is an easy-to-read book at the intersection of economics, geopolitics, and political and environmental science: it connects the dots between various academic disciplines and does a great job at simplifying the increasing complexity of today's world.

The starting point is the following: with the world becoming ever more susceptible to shocks, the global risk landscape is now dominated by sharp discontinuities. Our world is changing everywhere, radically, very fast, and in multiple intersecting ways that lend themselves to constant surprises. There is now no place to hide from the turbulence, the challenges, and the uncertainties.

The last chapter (largely based on interviews and conversations with key decision-makers and leading investors) provides some important insights and "tips" not only on how to cope but also on how to benefit from these dramatic changes.
