SuperShifts

Humanity stands at a pivotal juncture, marking the transition from one age to another every 200 years, now propelled by swift technological and societal transformations that have accelerated the pace of change from decades to months. This era of rapid evolution presents a choice: to slow the adoption of new technologies, potentially monopolized by a few, or to democratize access and knowledge, fostering a shared progress. A manifesto for change, SuperShifts: Transforming How We Live, Learn, and Work in the Age of Intelligence offers a rallying cry for individuals, businesses, and society to embrace the future and the opportunities it presents with open arms. The foundation of this book is based on the emergence of technologies like AI, blockchain, digital twins, fusion energy, and quantum computing, all of which signal the dawn of a new age -- an age in which the boundaries of possibility are constantly expanding and radically reinventing the way we think, work, and interact with one other. Written by leading behavioral scientist Dr. Ja-Naé Duane and world-renowned entrepreneur and futurist Steve Fisher, this book covers both theory and practical application of concepts. Readers will learn about skills needed to be a leader in the future and how to train and develop them, the impact of different technologies on different industries and business processes, and steps you can take to future-proof your organization and stay multiple steps ahead of the competition. Other big-picture topics covered include the impending singularity and how it will affect us on an individual and collective level, scanning current reality for ways to create your desired future reality, and the symbiotic relationship between the physical and digital realms in the workspace. SuperShifts is an essential forward-thinking read for all business leaders, executives, and entrepreneurs seeking to prepare themselves for the future and lead their organizations to success.
