The World’s Changing Fast. Here's How to Keep Up.
from The Next Big Idea Daily · host Next Big Idea Club
It’s easy enough to celebrate “disruptive” technologies, but all that disruption can have a real human cost. Job loss, anxiety, environmental fallout — every major shift creates winners and losers. But today’s author says the upsides may be worth the turmoil. Scott D. Anthony is a clinical professor of strategy at Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business, and in his new book, Epic Disruptions, he looks back at the biggest technological upheavals in history — from the printing press to AI — to uncover patterns that can help us not just survive disruption, but thrive in it.
