What disruption keeps you up at night?
Use the Disruption Classifier – one disruption per visit; your result on screen, with an optional email copy – to self-assess which type of disruption(s) you are facing.
Each Type of disruption points to a different arena for creating value, and to the mindset and techniques that get you there:
| 1. Disruption Type | 2. Create Value in | 3. Using |
|---|---|---|
| Incremental – volatility: competition, exchange rates, weather | Your existing domain | Lessons from the past; contingency plans (base, best, worst case) |
| Industry – alternative futures: vehicles, internet retail, streaming | Adjacencies | Responding to predicted developments; possibility scenarios, robust actions, and real options |
| Societal – chaotic ambiguity: AI, climate, gene editing | The Opportunity Quadrant: new businesses, new capabilities | Learning from the future; transformational scenarios built on vision and enablers |
| Near Extinction – a once-in-a-lifetime, existential event that requires a fundamental rethink. | (if survived, see Societal) | (if survived, see Societal) |
Next step: once you've classified your disruption/s (link above), test whether your organizational architecture is built to create value through that disruption. Assess your organization
