Disrupted! Av Philippa Hardman, Chris Nichols

The world is on a knife edge. The current pandemic has brought into sharp focus the overhanging questions about how we work and how we live. All of our ecological and human systems are stressed and failing, and the human beings operating in the systems are distressed in trying to cope with the magnitude of change thrust on them.All of our clients are conscious of the impending confluence of shifts in our economic, political, democratic, trading systems, and see how these sit in a world of massive technological change and environmental catastrophe. It is easy to despair at the magnitude of the shifts, but despair doesn’t butter any bread. What is needed is effective and practical innovation.Our clients hire us to help them find ways to respond and to develop the leadership styles and collaboration practices that make a different future possible. Everyone is working on this now. Our book remains a frontier book because very few companies or organisations have got this right yet. This is the book of the moment that will help practical leaders to create the world of today and tomorrow.The work arises out of the authors’ 20 years’ + experience working with organisations of all sizes in all sectors on the strategy and change challenges outlined above.
