Forward-thinking exploration of the dawn of humanity's new age and the imminent technology-enabled transformation on society, business, and beyond.

In SUPERSHIFTS, leading behavioral scientist Dr. Ja-Nae Duane and world-renowned entrepreneur and futurist Steve Fisher deliver an incisive overview of how we are at the end of one 200-year arc and embarking on another. With this new age of intelligence, Duane and Fisher highlight the various catalysts for change currently affecting individuals, businesses, and society as a whole. They also provide a model for transformation that expertly bridges the gap between theory and practice to provide a holistic view of making radical change through three lenses: you as a leader, your organization, and society. Drawing on Duane and Fisher's wealth of collective experience, this book pays particular attention to how emerging technologies, biological revolutions, energy abundance create opportunities for humanity's transformational purpose, and emergence of new intelligent species over the next two hundred years.

Readers will find various case studies showing successful and failed responses to disruption, and learn about topics including:

  • What is needed for mankind to thrive beyond the predictions of the singularity, and how that will shift our communications, beliefs, and values
  • How can we create anti-fragile organizations and global systems based on nature's ecosystems
  • Humanity's coexistence with technology, the fall of centralized systems, and the emergence of collective intelligence as a solution for prosperity

A guide for change, SUPERSHIFTS earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders seeking to create a better world for themselves, their organizations, and society at large.
