Taking a Globally Orchestrated Approach to Digital Disruption

New technologies such as generative AI, quantum computing, and climate technology require unique but complementary managerial muscles.

Across industries, senior executives are navigating an increasingly complex landscape moving at ever greater speed—a cycle of continuous disruption. These disruptions, including advances in technology, shifts in market demands, environmental challenges, and geopolitical instability, are interconnected and amplify each other, creating new situations where change can outpace the organization’s ability to adapt.

Leaders play an important role in deciding how to adapt to and thrive with these disruptions, identifying weak and strong signals, separating fads from trends, and translating insights into a meaningful, proactive set of priorities to frame and propel an organization’s strategic goals. Someone has to have the global view, and senior executives are uniquely positioned to coordinate the orchestration of new initiatives, rather than take a less productive, decentralized, and siloed approach.
