9 mental models for Navigating Transition
adapt or die
Over the past 8,000 years, humans have been through (at least) 26 major transitions. We are currently witnessing the next.
Top executives use these models to prepare for a future others can’t see. Backed by science and amplified by AI, leaders who rely on the 9 Mental Models won’t just survive this transition – they will lead it.
Activate your organization’s dormant potential. Unleash evolutionary creativity. Build regenerative ecosystems. The transition will happen with or without your permission. Will you actively participate or passively be overtaken by it?
