SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the past few years, the Disruptive Futures Institute delivered hundreds of keynote talks, courses, and executive education programs on decision-making in uncertain environments to the world's most innovative organizations.

Volume IV - YOUR BUSINESS. Disruption as a Springboard to Value Creation: What does our unpredictable, complex, and systemic world mean for you as a business?

Volume I will be launched on November 29^th 2022, with the next three volumes released in December 2022, January and February 2023 respectively. More than a book, The Definitive Guide to Thriving on Disruption is a field guide for businesses and individuals alike to navigate change; a compass; a system of content, resources, and ideas on how to stay relevant in our complex and unpredictable world.

The authors are Roger Spitz, in collaboration with Lidia Zuin. A foresight strategist, venture capitalist, and writer, Roger's expertise lies at the intersection of futures studies, systems thinking, and sustainable value creation, building on 20 years of leading global technology M&A and investment banking businesses.

"This Guidebook offers a rich and practical set of resources for anyone - organizations, entrepreneurs, policymakers, educators, and learners - to capitalize on disruption… Together with a wide array of contributors across the world, the Disruptive Futures Institute team connects foresight strategy and futures intelligence, complexity and systems thinking, artificial intelligence and exponential technologies, innovation and failure, design thinking and science fiction, philosophy, and Zen Buddhism."

To flourish in this increasingly complex, unpredictable, and nonlinear environment, we must understand the velocity, trajectory, and magnitude of the underlying drivers of change, whether technological or otherwise. Doing so requires casting assumptions aside, throwing out the old playbooks, rewiring our mindset, embracing the unknown, and taking agency of our own futures.

The Definitive Guide to Thriving on Disruption widens and deepens our perspectives, changes the narrative structure around uncertainty, and helps every reader understand, anticipate, and navigate disruption.
