Turn Disruption and Change Into Opportunity and Advantage

In a world of unprecedented change, the greatest risk is not disruption itself, but the failure to anticipate it. While your competitors are reacting to the present, you can be capitalizing on the future. This is the power of anticipation, and it is the key to unlocking your organization's full potential.

The Critical Question Every Leader Must Ask

Is your organization prepared for the tsunami of technological change that is already on the horizon?

For over four decades, Daniel Burrus has been the world's most trusted guide to the future of business. He has a proven, documented track record of accurately predicting the future of technological change and its impact on organizations worldwide. He has advised executives from Fortune 500 companies, the Pentagon, and heads of State, helping them to develop game-changing strategies based on his proven methodologies for capitalizing on technology innovations and their future impact.

The good news is that the future is not as uncertain as it seems. There is a science to anticipation, and it is a skill that can be learned.

Introducing The Anticipatory Organization® Model:

The Science of Certainty

Daniel Burrus has developed a proprietary methodology that transforms how organizations see and shape their future. The Anticipatory Organization® Model is a proven system for accurately foreseeing change and driving disruptive innovation. It is based on a simple but powerful principle: separating Hard Trends from Soft Trends.
