History can teach us a lot about the repercussions of change. The impact of change is accelerated by the confluence of events, crisis upon crisis. Imagine if you were able to imagine it before it happened thereby providing the white space to adapt and innovate mitigating the impact of the change. This is how this great conversation begins with an author that leverages research of our world and imagines scenarios that government and private sector leaders must see to help us all. Rather than a white paper, his “useful fiction” captures the interest and then the mind of the leader.
