Disrupt With Impact
I had the pleasure of reviewing an early copy of a book authored by Roger Spitz. The book titled Disrupt with Impact is scheduled to launch on September 24, 2024. Roger Spitz is a futurist, author, and President of Techistential, a foresight strategy consultancy. He also chairs the Disruptive Futures Institute, a global education hub which empowers organizations and entrepreneurs. His work has been featured in numerous media outlets, such as Fast Company, WIRED, and MIT Technology Review. He is based in San Francisco, USA.
As a futurist, I find the book to be a compelling and timely exploration of the challenges and opportunities facing leaders in our rapidly evolving world. Spitz masterfully weaves together insights on technological convergence, artificial intelligence, and the blurring of industry boundaries to paint a vivid picture of the disruptive landscape we must navigate. His concept of UN-VICE (Unknown, Volatile, Intersecting, Complex, and Exponential) resonates strongly, effectively capturing the essence of our current era and the imperative for new approaches to leadership and decision-making.
What sets this book apart is Spitz’s emphasis on long-term thinking and foresight as critical tools for navigating disruption. In a world where short-term pressures often dominate, his call for leaders to develop robust futures thinking capabilities is both refreshing and essential. The book’s exploration of emerging technologies, information security challenges, and the need to reimagine education for the future aligns perfectly with a futurist perspective. Spitz not only identifies the seismic shifts occurring across industries and society but also provides a framework for leaders to anticipate and shape the future proactively. Disrupt with Impact is a must-read for any leader or organization looking to thrive in an era of unprecedented change, offering both a wake-up call and a roadmap for cultivating the foresight and adaptability needed to succeed in the decades to come.
I highly recommend the book and have added it to my library.
