In a world that is confronted with climate change, instant wars, collapsing banks, global terrorism and an oil price that is jumping up and down, the old ways of doing things just don’t work anymore. ICT has enabled us to link everything together. A digital layer of connections has merged with our old infrastructures of trains, plains and boats creating a network that has simply become to large and complex to grasp. We can no longer take the machine apart to understand its parts. Are we just going to pretend nothing is wrong, sit down and brace for impact?  Dealing with that kind of complexity has to be done bottom-up, believing in adaptiveness, self learning and letting go of control. We need new tools, new ideas, a new generation and above all, new leadership. But how are you to define a strategy in such an age of uncertainty? For a study on the Future of Work FreedomLab partnered once more with ViNT , the institute that explores the impact of new technologies.
