There is a tsunami of change poised to wash over organisations. Organisational change is not only constant but also exponential in scope and speed. Leaders are already inundated with increased information on a scale, and at a speed that seems incomprehensible. Furthermore, it will continue to magnify. It’s impossible to be an expert at everything. It’s ludicrous attempting to read about all the advancements. So, what is a leader to do? Awareness. Leaders cannot be expected to comprehensively acquire the in-depth knowledge necessary to be across this tidal wave of change. However, they have a responsibility to be aware of what’s coming and formalise their resources to prepare and adapt. This program provides a summary overview of the forces that are changing organisations and provides insights on how leaders must marshal the troops to accommodate and take advantage of these changes to produce organisational confidence and success.
Organisations are challenged in the current economy. The challenge of how to identify, attract and retain key personnel. The challenge of how to compete in a global village where outsourcing, computerisation, and cheap labour is constantly placing downward pressure on pricing. The challenge of computerisation, information and big data that requires on going and significant investment to remain relevant. Now, organisations are also confronted with the fourth industrial revolution: supercomputing, artificial \ intelligence, genetic manipulation, and more.
