Today (Sunday), I stumbled upon the 1859 Carrington Event – an event I hadn't heard of before. With solar flares making headlines recently, it got me thinking about how recent it actually was and how cognitive bias might underestimate the threat. Either way, it makes for a good, quick story. In 1859, the Carrington Event – the most powerful geomagnetic storm on record – wreaked havoc on telegraph systems across the globe. Telegraph operators at the time witnessed firsthand the destructive power of geomagnetic storms as their equipment sparked and caught fire, and communication networks were brought to a standstill. If a similar event were to occur today, the consequences would be catastrophic, given our dependence on technology and digital infrastructure. This would not be that dissimilar from the detonation of an EMP. Which led me to think, its likely human nature to underestimate this risk due to recency bias, a cognitive error where we place greater importance on recent experiences over statistical chance of historical events. Just because we haven't experienced a geomagnetic storm of Carrington's magnitude in our lifetimes doesn't mean the threat has diminished. In fact, our increasing reliance on satellites, GPS, power grids, and digital communication makes us more vulnerable than ever. A modern Carrington Event could cripple our power grids, disrupt communication networks, and cause massive economic losses. Imagine the chaos if satellites were knocked out, affecting everything from weather forecasting to financial transactions. In a world where geopolitical tensions are ever-present, such a vulnerability could be exploited by hostile actors. Geopolitical leaders may seize the opportunity to launch cyberattacks or other forms of aggression when nations are at their weakest, exacerbating the chaos and further destabilizing global security. Here is the link I watched for those interested, got to love his bowtie! https://lnkd.in/gC3Yx89f #Technology #RiskManagement #SpaceWeather #CarringtonEvent #RecencyBias #Infrastructure #Preparedness #TelegraphHistory #Geopolitics #Cybersecurity

So is your solution at the top of the map? Is it leading the drive to the right? If not you, then who? If you aren't the most visible source of value to your customers, which of your competitors is? How long do you think they'll wait before they cut you out of the stack? If you're not planning to lead the move to the next tier of service, which of your competitors will?
