How To Deal With Disruption and How To Thrive In A Disruptive AgeFahri Karakas
We live in interesting and accelerated times. No professional today, whether in the public or private sector, can afford to be unaware of the pace of changes surrounding them. The pace of business change happening around us is relentless. The global forces of competition, innovation, and new technologies are creating new markets while eliminating others.
Multidimensional technological forces involving automation, 3D printing, augmented reality, machine learning, Industry 4.0, internet of things, and blockchain are rapidly transforming the future of work, organizations, and jobs.
We are at the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution. Developments in machine learning, robotics, nanotech, biotech, and 3D printing are all building on and amplifying one another. Technology is disruptive and it keeps transforming workplaces, business practices, and work processes. Companies are trying hard to survive — the only way to survive is to adapt, change, and innovate fast.
Companies are hungrier for smart ideas and innovations than ever before because they know they will go extinct unless they learn, improve, evolve, accelerate, and create constantly.
89% of Fortune 500 companies from 1955 are not on the list in 2014. The average age of a company listed on the S&P 500 was 67 years old in the 1920s. Right now this age is 15 years only and it keeps going down. In 2028, 40% of all S&P 500 companies are expected to disappear from this list. Similarly, 75% of S&P 500 firms are estimated to be replaced within 15 years.
In 1996, Kodak had nearly 150 thousand employees and $28 billion market cap. In 2008, the whole market was gone. The invention of digital cameras eliminated traditional camera businesses. A company that is not trying to disrupt itself is destined to be disrupted.
We are experiencing a digital revolution and the industrial paradigm is over. Mass production is becoming obsolete and 3D printers are replacing factories. Companies work in virtual networks and remote work is the order of the day.
Products are bought on demand and they are customized by default. We do not need huge scales of economy, organization charts, hierarchies, factories, standardized exams, or large production floors anymore.
We do not need cable TV, mass-market, and broadcast advertising. We are now experiencing a borderless, democratized, digital world where each individual can have a huge impact.
We can now create our own game in this world. We can design games, create our own blogs or podcasts or YouTube channel or raise funds on Kickstarter. We can write a book and explain ourselves to the world. We can create fresh and exciting digital products (training, courses, etc.) We live in a world where ideas can change people’s lives. This means all of us can create our own game.
It is impossible to imagine that the skills needed at work will remain the same in the new decade. The world is changing fast and we need to learn, re-invent, and disrupt ourselves every day.

This report clearly details the complex challenges facing young people across the Arab world. Among these great challenges is employment — or the lack of it.
The MENA region faces one of the highest rates of youth unemployment and underemployment in the world. Creating the required number of new jobs over the next two decades will be monumentally difficult. Even more young people have been forced into unemployment, low-quality jobs, and living “on the margins” as a result of the weakened global economic climate.
The global economic crisis hits the MENA region at a time when the youth share of the total population is at a high point, with nearly one-third of MENA residents between the ages of 15 and 29.

We are fortunate to have Dr. James A. Tompkins, one of the world’s leading supply chain thought leaders, to address the impacts of VUCA on today’s supply chains and commerce. Jim recently stated that “the impacts of digital commerce on supply chains and commerce are far greater than the ending of the Cold War in 1991. The lifting of the Iron Curtain was minuscule when compared to the impacts of VUCA on how business works and how people live.”

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

2. How well can you predict the results of your
actions?
Volatile: not necessarily hard to understand;
information is available
Uncertain: basic cause and effective known
Complex: information available but volume or
nature is overwhelming
Ambiguous: no clear direction, hard to predict
