“I believe that the world as a whole just now is more uncertain than it’s ever been. The reason I believe that is that - it’s a much more interconnected world, it is a world in which technology and other forces are speeding everything up, in which there is the emergence of new players in every system- new regions of the world are coming alive, new corporations are being born, there are now something like ten times more organisations in the world than there were fifteen, twenty years ago, and they’re all acting, they’re all creating the future. With all of that complexity in place, the world is simply much more uncertain than it’s ever been.”
