Many organisations have stalled, unable to move forward with confidence, because leaders have been paralysed by the pace of change and overwhelmed by the uncertainty it’s unleashed.
We’re entering the Age of AI — the dawn of a sixth industrial revolution, where business and technology will merge in ways that redefine how value is created. (For clarity, the fourth revolution was the Age of Oil and Mass Production starting in 1908).
Every move will feel like a step into the unknown. There are no silver bullets — no cases to copy, no single framework that answers every question, and no data about what hasn’t happened yet.
You stand at the start of a long, faintly lit road — but you must take your next step now, or risk being left behind. The path ahead is uncertain, but great journeys often begin when there is no choice but to move.
The driving force behind this journey is the “Five Factors” from The Art of War — reinterpreted for modern strategy. These are not buzzwords drawn from ancient wisdom, but a practical guide to thriving in an uncertain world.
We’ll explore each of these Five Factors in turn. Subscribe to the channel to follow the series.
