Reinventing the World: The Guide to Confronting Global Disruption and Creating Hope for Tomorrow

Description

The only way to fix our world is to reinvent it. We stand in the crosshairs of four calamitous trends, each of which has historically led to tremendous societal disruption and whose combined force now threatens to permanently alter life as we know it: climate change, demographic shifts, fracturing communities, and technological disruption. The only way that humanity can survive and thrive through this tidal wave of change is to rethink our fundamental assumptions of how to run the world. Drawing on decades of experience in academia, global consulting, and leadership, author Blair H. Sheppard presents a practical blueprint for systemic reinvention. This book addresses what we must do, collectively and individually, to foster change that builds the type of world we all want to live in, galvanizing every organization, town, city, country, and person to think differently about preparing for the future. Grounded in real-world examples, personal stories, and a deep understanding of the trends disrupting and reshaping our lives, Reinventing the World provides solutions and offers hope for our collective future. An urgent call to action for businesses, industries, world leaders, and individuals alike, this book describes the imperative changes we must adopt now if we want to improve our lives and the world we live in for the future.
