World in Flux
We are now in a prolonged era of profound uncertainty, relentless digital disruption, and exponential change – what Charlie Ang (in 2018) calls the Perfect Storm of the 2020s and beyond.
HYPER-VUCA
The VUCA environment (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) has now intensified to a Hyper-VUCA level, characterized by unprecedented turbulence and unpredictability.
pOLY-CRISIS
A situation where multiple crises occur simultaneously or in close succession, often exacerbating each other and creating a situation that is more complex and challenging than the sum of its parts.
MEGA-COLLISIONS
This is caused by the intricate interplay and chaotic convergence of four mega-forces: the intelligence revolution, climate emergency, geopolitical disorder, and dysfunctional trade regime.
Post-COVID events, from ChatGPT debut, Russia-Ukraine War, Greater Middle East Conflict, Trump 2.0, and the ensuing Global Tariff War, are signs of this "Never Normal World".
No Coping Strategies?
The typical management approaches taught in business schools cannot cope with this elevated level of uncertainty.
They were invented for a more benign operating environment that no longer exists. After all, these methods were meant to increase performance and efficiency, not for reinvention and survivability.Hence, companies are stuck with obsolete mental models and strategic tools to manage present-day risks that they were never designed for, putting their existence at risk.
The Antidote
How can companies upgrade their mindsets, leadership, strategy, systems, and culture to, not only prevail but, prosper in this brave new world?
The Twin Meta-Modelstm
The answer lies in two groundbreaking meta-models: Antifragility and Ambidexterity. Companies that embrace the Twin Meta-Models will position themselves to flourish. Those who don’t will likely fail in the face of elevated disruption, chaos, and volatility in the external environment.
Antifragility
The ability of an organization to grow stronger and better when exposed to stress, volatility, or disruption.
Ambidexterity
The organizational skill to explore new businesses while exploiting existing ones - without compromising either.
In 2025, all companies must embrace Antifragility and Ambidexterity as core strategies and essential leadership skills.
The Executive Masterclass
This is the first ever and best-in-class course that combines both strategic methods into a single, unified framework.
