Other nations already flipped the switch many years ago and have moved forward on the exponential path. To succeed, we too must change our mindset for the exponential age and learn the appropriate methods. It’s about recognizing the opportunities and actively moving forward to keep pace with and even exceed this transformation. Steadiness alone will not be enough in these rapidly evolving times. It requires a change in thinking and acting to successfully shape the future.
