The world stands at a massive pivot point. A paradigm shift not only the way we work and live, but in the core philosophy of culture itself. Today multiple trends and megatrends are converging , bringing about a scale of change not seen in centuries.
In this title, Chris Marshall, Futurist and Behavioural Scientist and Head of Investment Strategy at Dragon Investment Managers lays out a framework of change and points to how we can get better at seeing this change occurring. How innovation plays out, and why curiosity may be a superpower in the coming era.
Chris encourages you to step back to gain a better perspective. The world is too complex, and too many pieces are moving to view this from the typical, modern, hyper-specialist standpoint.
In taking the big picture approach, Decoding Change takes you on a journey that weaves together multiple fields of history, economics, philosophy, and behavioural science from the author's experiences and research.
The enduring, positive message this book leaves you with is that innovation is not smooth. That progress is not achieved through minor improvements but takes radical turns. At these points, time jumps.
When looking at the history of the human race, it is one of innovating, adapting and overcoming the seemingly impossible time and time again.
