Strategy development in a rapidly changing world

Abstract

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world, many analysts of past, present and future developments have already labelled the current times as the Age of Disruption. With unprecedented technological change taking place – for example in the domains of automation, artificial intelligence, genomics and nanotechnology, many aspects of our society – from health issues to competitiveness, from addressing climate change to demographic changes, will no doubt be affected too. Consequently, the role government wants to have vis-à-vis these changes and the way it functions itself, will also be subject to analysis and change. In his article, Kumardev Chatterjee, working with deep tech and a serial innovator and entrepreneur, zooms in on the decade of technological disruption 2021 - 2030: how we got here, what this will be and how to prepare and make use of it, in particular by the public sector.
