Reframing and Navigating Disruption
Disruptive Futures Intitute
The Definitive Guide to Thriving on Disruption: Volume I - Reframing and Navigating Disruption, reframes systemic disruption. After a detailed examination of the constants and drivers of disruption, we learn to navigate disruption by thinking in multiple time horizons, as well as the implications and opportunities stemming from emerging technologies, AI, and the future of decision-making.

After a detailed examination of the constants and drivers of disruption, we learn to navigate disruption by thinking in multiple time horizons, as well as the implications and opportunities stemming from emerging technologies, AI, and the future of decision-making. We then explore “Info-ruption” as a radical change in how information is interpreted, used, and misused in this new era of cyber insecurity. Finally, in the face of existential and climate risks, we expand on how to mitigate and build resilience for even the most extreme eventualities.

How prescriptive AI presents unprecedented challenges in understanding the benefits and shortcomings of technoscientific solutions. Where the potential benefits are often tooted, critical consideration concerning the limitations of AI follows with a lag. We aim to consider the epistemic context of AI decision-making in uncertain and complex environments in relation to leadership. Our framework uses Deleuzo-Sartrean existential philosophy to draw parallels between the emergent nature of Being and decision-making, in the context of advancements in AI.Other authorsSee publication -
