AI and cognitive computing have grabbed headlines. Yet, anticipatory leaders know that the elevation of cognitive performance among teams is key to maximize results.

The language of sustainability can seem like an alphabet soup of acronyms, making the very personal work we do feel rather impersonal. Despite the jargon, these are acronyms that connect businesses back to one central goal – make the world a more just and secure place for all.

In the state of California alone, more than 450 recycling plants have shut down recently and thousands of cargo containers filled with U.S. recycling that were once ready to sell to China are now sitting idly and are likely going to be sent to the landfill.

During this unique period of technology-driven transformation, the education sector has so far been slow to embrace the power of digital tools that can be used to accelerate learning. Spending time, energy and money protecting and defending conventional teaching methods only postpones the inevitable and keeps the transformative power of digital disruption, when used wisely, from taking training and education to a new level of success.

Many business consultants agree that benchmarking is imperative to strategic planning. By using metrics, a business will study the practices, designs, and financial outcomes of industry leaders with one distinct purpose: To keep up with the pacesetters. There’s just one problem. Keeping up—with technology, with the competition, with anything in business or life—is what some would call a fool’s game. Think about it: When you’re merely keeping up, what’s the advantage?

One of the harsh realities of this fast-paced digital world is that almost everything we buy is out of date by the time we get it home. To obtain the most value of any purchase, especially if it is an expensive one, we need to adopt a future mind-set to help us avoid picking up legacy products. Driving has long been considered a symbol of personal freedom — an open road going forward, with almost limitless possibilities and opportunities on the horizon.

Whenever a new game-changing technology is introduced, our instinct is to assume that the current technology we are using will quickly become obsolete and will vanish from our use. History has shown that the hottest new breakthrough technologies do not necessarily replace older ones. Instead, they often coexist side by side because the old technology has its own unique profile of functional strengths that the new technology never fully replaces.

Being anticipatory often boils down to the ability to see what everyone else misses. How can you do that? One way is to simply look where no one else happens to be looking. And how and where you look can help broaden both your and your organization’s capacity for being anticipatory. Leveraging the Law of Opposites isn’t just about being contrarian or being different just for the sake of being different.

Often, when confronted by problems, we have a tendency to work the problem. Then work it some more. And, from there, work it even more. But does working, reworking and working at it harder uncover a solution? Often, the answer is no. Instead, I like to recommend an alternative that may seem a bit outlandish to some, but is a remarkably effective strategy: Take your biggest problem and skip It. .

The technology change curve continues to steepen, with an increasing number of entrepreneurs developing innovative processes, services and products. When you create and drive growth on a global basis, it’s imperative that you capture and protect your intellectual property (IP). In fact, how well you protect your intellectual property could ultimately be a major key to success. So why do so many entrepreneurs fail to adequately protect the results of their creativity?

Consider these interesting statistics when it comes to privacy: Google commands 77 percent of search advertising revenue in the United States. Between them, Google and Facebook control 56 percent of the mobile advertising market. At first glance, they sound like monopolies, don’t they?

The next time you turn on a light, give some thought to Thomas Edison’s view of all the trial and error that preceded his invention of the lightbulb and many other mainstays of the modern world. “I I haven’t failed,” he said. “I’ve I’ve just found ten thousand ways that don’t work.”. Edison’s comment is very much in synch with one of the central principles of the Anticipatory Organization system. First, if you’re not failing, you’re not pursuing innovation.

One of the central principles of the Anticipatory Organization Model is to move beyond the idea of mere competition. By that, I mean going past the idea of measuring your organization’s success and performance against others. Instead, set your own standards through transformational planning and ongoing innovation. In so doing, you redefine the concept of risk management. Risk Management Redefined.

Most everyone is familiar with postmortems, at least in a medical sense. With regard to medicine, a postmortem is conducted to determine why a person has died. Postmortems can be valuable in all sorts of ways, including research into disease and medications, and other important scientific goals. The problem is there’s just one person who doesn’t stand to benefit from a postmortem: The person lying on the table.

In a medical setting, a post mortem has a rather grisly context—an examination to determine a person’s cause of death and other contributing medical factors. But post mortems also exist within businesses and organizations of all sorts. Post mortems are reviews of product or service launches, projects, campaigns and other activities after they have either been in place for a certain period of time, completed or discontinued.

We all manage something or other, whether it’s other people, an entire organization, sales or even just ourselves. Managing suggests careful planning, a well-thought-out direction and a sense of control. What if we applied that definition of management to opportunity? What if we identified and acted upon opportunity much in the same way as we might manage a meeting, a project or some other form of responsibility?

What comes to mind when you hear the term “disrupt”? Does it suggest chaos, lack of direction or other unsettling events? Or do you see it from the other side of the coin—when you’re the one causing the disruption and, as a result, leveraging the opportunity that results? If your organization has an anticipatory mentality, disruption is often synonymous with opportunity—that is, if you’re able to accurately anticipate the future and plan to act on it accordingly instead of merely reacting.

No matter the industry or particular field, competition is the business of the day. Regardless of what you and your organization do in terms of products or services, there’s inevitably someone else offering a competitive alternative. Your goal is to “beat” those competitors, however that might be measured—greater sales, more customers, whatever the benchmark. But what if you could move beyond the idea of competition?

Being anticipatory can mean many things. In some cases, it’s about identifying opportunities for major digital disruption that you yourself can introduce (think Uber, Kickstarter and other innovations that set entire industries on their ear.). But being anticipatory also means being aware of outside disruptions that may impact you—and how to prepare accordingly. To that end, let’s consider the relationship between digital disruption and the people in your organization.
