The Uncertainty Principle - by Peter Hinssen (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Humanity faces complex global challenges, from technological and geopolitical shocks to social and ecological disruptions. Fear, hesitation, and avoidance won't help us overcome them. Slowing down is not the answer. We must move faster, think bigger, and fully leverage technology to build a future worth striving for. We need active hope and bold leaders who can turn adversity into opportunity.

The Uncertainty Principle focuses on the key levers of transformation to help leaders rethink and reshape their companies: strategy, foresight, organizational design, culture, innovation, risk appetite, and the evolving nature of work. Above all, it serves as a guide for those who see cracks in the system not as warnings, but as windows--those daring enough to believe they can change the world, because they are the ones who will.

As we zoom up the exponential curve of tech enabled change we all need an optimistic and inspiring guide. Peter Hinssen is that guide. In this new book Peter describes a "Never Normal" world helping us navigate "between the forces of pessimism and possibility".

-- Dr Peter Weill, Chairman MIT Center for Information Systems Research (CISR)

In an age when warnings dominate the conversation, The Uncertainty Principle stands out as a refreshingly optimistic guide. It demonstrates how business leaders can turn disruption into opportunity--not just for their own organizations, but for the world at large.

-- Costas Markides, Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at London Business School

Uncertainty isn't a threat--it's the raw material for tomorrow's opportunities. This book helps leaders imagine the impossible and install hope to change the future. A must-read!

-- David De Cremer, Dean of D'Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University
