Techistential (Strategic Foresight & Sustainable Futures)

출간 즉시 전세계적인 베스트셀러가 된 <𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭: 𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧 𝐔𝐧𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝>의 저자 Roger Spitz 님을 드디어 만나뵐 수 있었습니다. 테크 분야의 투자자로써 경력을 가진 Roger 작가님은 현재 전세계에서 연사로 초청을 받고 계신다고 하셨습니다. 최근 인도의 글로벌 기업과의 미팅에서 많이 받았던 질문은 AI나 실리콘밸리와 같은 기술에 대한 질문이 아니었고 오히려 우리의 고객과 커뮤니티와 사회가 현재의 이러한 예측불가능한 현실을 어떻게 바라보고 이것을 타개해 나가야 하는지에 대한 것이었다고 합니다. 기업 뿐만 아니라 링크드인 유저분들 개개인 스스로가 과거 데이터에 기반한 접근 방식에서 벗어나야만 지속적인 변화의 흐름에 대처할 수 있다는 점을 강조해 주셨습니다. 감사하게도 저에게 2025년의 계획이 무엇인지 여쭤봐 주셨는데요. 최근에 있었던 다양한 글로벌 리더와의 교류로 이전과 생각이 완전히 바뀌게 된 점에 대해 말씀드렸고 현명한 방향으로 바뀌어 가는 것이라고 격려의 말씀을 해주셨습니다. 저는 지난 몇 달 사이 이 책을 통해 그리고 최근의 일련의 네트워크를 통해 세계를 바라보는 눈이 바뀌었다고 말씀드렸어요. 앞으로 한국에도 방문해 연설을 들을 수 있는 날을 기다려 보겠습니다. 책소개 페이지 👉https://lnkd.in/gVf6aXdS I finally got to meet 𝐑𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐳, 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭: 𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧 𝐔𝐧𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝, which became an international bestseller upon its release. With a rich background as a tech investor, Mr. Spitz is now in high demand as a global speaker. Recently, during his meeting with global companies in India, he shared that the most pressing questions were not about AI or Silicon Valley but about how businesses and society can navigate our unpredictable reality. Mr. Spitz emphasized that companies and individuals alike must shift away from relying solely on historical data to adapt to the rapid pace of change. His perspective truly resonated with me. When he asked about my 2025 plans, I reflected on how my recent interactions with global leaders have reshaped my thinking. He shared some inspiring words of wisdom, and I told him how both his book and my recent networking have given me a new lens through which I view the world. I look forward to the day when I can attend one of his talks in Korea. #disruptwithimpact https://lnkd.in/gezjuF_5

"Look at uncertainty as a great thing," says futurist Roger Spitz, The Innovator's Interview Of The Week. "Without it, things would be predetermined. Uncertainty gives you agency to become the architect of your future. But agency is an option. If you don’t exercise it, it won’t exist, and others will create your future for you." Spitz, The Innovator's Interview Of The Week, is President of Techistential (Strategic Foresight & Sustainable Futures), a foresight practice, which advises CEOs, founders, and boards. He is also Chair of the Disruptive Futures Institute in San Francisco and an expert advisor to the World Economic Forum’s Global Foresight Network. He has authored five books, including the acclaimed collection “The Definitive Guide to Thriving on Disruption”. Before becoming a futurist, he served as the global head of technology M&A at an investment bank, advising on numerous transactions totaling $25 billion. He recently spoke to The Innovator about his latest book, “Disrupt With Impact: Achieve Business Success in an Unpredictable World”. https://lnkd.in/ebCDQnSa

Information is the understanding of data in context - the message conveyed - to provide knowledge. Disinformation is false information designed to mislead, while misinformation is inaccurate information. In this context, we call “info-ruption” a pervasive and radical change in data dynamics, with cascading effects on how information is interpreted, used, and misused. Data-driven innovations bring an entirely new meaning to “reading” someone. We are witnessing a rapid expansion of networked human bodies and minds. To adapt to this world, should data be treated as a language, as fundamental to our existence as our linguistic substrates? Today, software is eating humanity. Are you prepared to fight back? Buy your copy of Disrupt With Impact by Roger Spitz, to learn how you can leverage this new era of info-ruption to your advantage. #information #inforuption #technology #unpredictability #complexity #impact #AI #cyber

AI Learning Series - Inaugural Season with UTA 📚 I had the privilege of sharing insights from my new book, Disrupt With Impact: Achieve Business Success in an Unpredictable World, with the exceptional faculty and staff at the University of Texas Arlington. 🤔 This session was part of UTA’s innovative AI Learning, Pondering AI series, where we challenged conventional thinking and explored critical topics like Sustainable Futures, Systemic Change, and the Future of Decision-Making. 🙌 A huge thank you to the entire UTA team and Kimberly Nevala of the Pondering AI Podcast, for the invitation and interest in my work and book. 🔬 As I explore in Part III of Disrupt With Impact, “The future of artificial intelligence, strategic decision-making and technology”:  💬 “Today, AI seems to be the answer to everything, irrespective of the question. If technology is determining outcomes on our behalf, our agency is curtailed, and our choices may be beyond our control.” - Disrupt With Impact.

This Podcast, episode 204, marks the fourth anniversary since I first joined the FuturePod hall of foresight, in episode 70 - The Essence of Being Human. It has been an incredible journey since then. This new episode with Peter Hayward is very moving for me - as I retrace elements of this evolution. Thank you to the FuturePod team for continuing to do what you do, with such insight, foresight, and hindsight. Rebecca Mijat Meredith (Mendy) Urie Amanda Reeves Reanna Browne Josh Floyd

In an accelerating world leaders need to set a clear vision of their desired future state. The massive challenge is then to transition smoothly from today. This diagram is from Roger Spitz’s new book ‘Disrupt with Impact’, which is packed with an extensive array of useful frameworks around disruption and creating the future. Roger proposes the role of ‘Chief Bridging Officer’, whose role is to build bridges to cross the chasms between: 🌍 Present and 🔮 Future 🏛 Legacy and 💥 Disruption 💡 Assumptions and 🌱 Possibilities 🎯 Incentives and 📐 Alignment This of course requires extraordinary agility. It is difficult to overstate the challenge of organizational transition of the scale required today. But the bridges will never be fully built, because the other shore keeps moving. Disrupt with Impact delves into the nature of disruption and the mindset and tools for foresight, with a deep systemic and ecological view of the world, going on to look at the role of AI and shifts in decision-making. Frameworks and structured thinking at every stage make Roger’s intent and ideas clear. Recommended.

What sort of business strategy book would a foresight practitioner who was experienced in consulting to board and also well-versed in Zen Buddhism write?  In episode 204, Peter Hayward chats to Roger Spitz returns about his new book Disrupt with Impact. Roger is a Foresight advisor, venture capitalist, an expert advisor to the World Economic Forum's Global Foresight Network, the President of Techistential and he also chairs the Disruptive Futures Institute.

⛰️ Steep Slopes, Crevasses & Hazards of Fast-Changing Environments 🌏 📚 All of the endorsers for my new book are incredible! 🙏 🙌 Meet Benedikt Böhm, a world-leading extreme ski mountaineer, Executive Board member of Oberalp, CEO of Dynafit, and WWF ambassador. ⛰️ Benedikt is a huge inspiration. He not only climbs 8,000-meter peaks without supplemental oxygen or outside aid; he in fact does so extremely fast, using what is called “speed style.” 💡 As with many uncertainties and risks, this kind of ascent demands: - Precision, focus and ease - Unbelievable training and discipline - Creativity and courage for invention and reinvention - Agency, resiliency and antifragility  - More speed with less risk. ⚡️ Less but better allows Benedikt to climb fast and light even for his 17 hours up and down Gasherbrum II with its 8,035 meters, or 23.5 hours for Manaslu, which with 8,163 meters is the eighth-highest mountain on the planet. 💡Thank you, Beni, for your support and your thoughtful endorsement: 💬 “‘Disrupt With Impact’ is a must-read for anyone navigating uncertainty. Roger Spitz masterfully equips decision-makers for the steep slopes, crevasses and hazards of the world’s fast-changing environments. There are no better frameworks to help build resilience for the shocks while seizing the windows of opportunities as you creatively shape your future.” - Benedikt Böhm, Executive Board Oberalp, CEO Dynafit & Extreme Ski Mountaineer To learn more about Disrupt With Impact and how we equip decision-makers for the steep slopes, crevasses and hazards:⤵ ➡️ www.DisruptWithImpact.com 🙏 Thank you each and everyone one of my endorsers for your acute futures intelligence: Sebastian Bihari | Benedikt Böhm | Kara Cunzeman | Cathy Hackl | David Jonker | Michael J Keegan | Quentin Ladetto | Manoj K Raut | Jake Sotiriadis, Ph.D. | Pinak Kiran Vedalankar | Doris Viljoen | Michele Wucker
