Turbulence is the defining feature in an interdependent world. Financial markets gyrate. Commodity prices zig and zag. New technologies disrupt and even destroy longstanding businesses. Scientific discovery renders historical truisms obsolete. Dirty bombs and pension busts, global warming and flu pandemics add to the tumult. Peering into an uncertain future, many people see only threats and risks, and miss a fundamental truth-that volatility generates opportunities.
How do individuals-whether corporate leaders or investors, middle managers or entrepreneurs-not only recognize these opportunities but take the practical steps to seize them? Based on a decade of research into companies that have not only withstood turbulence but exploited it to create value, this book draws on historical case studies and research into realms as varied as improvisational comedy and military training to provide a series of intellectual and practical frameworks that defy conventional wisdom and show how to seize triumph out of turmoil.
