Businesses need a way of addressing an uncertain future

COVID-19 has demonstrated unequivocally the potential for possible - but unplanned-for - scenarios taking grip and forcing change. We are coming to terms with the fact that this is not a one-off event. The exogenous nature and global impact may be unusual in recent times, but climate change, political upheaval, and disruptive threats that cut across industrial ecosystems have been brought into acute focus.

A natural reflex is to protect the core - assess immediate threats, create a response plan, and mobilise your organisation with more determination than ever. Protect against loss of revenue, cash flow difficulties, and damage to employee morale.

But, while dealing with the immediate situation we also know that the tidal waves of disruption already on the way pose opportunities that should be addressed head-on. For example - artificial intelligence, robotics, energy storage, DNA sequencing, and blockchain technology could generate more than $50 trillion in business value and wealth creation over the next 10-15 years (Ark Invest).

In the past few months, junior-level executives have been much more concerned about insufficient capability development for future success than senior executives. 

These times demand new models for capturing value. So today we launched Etch Horizon. Because we believe that 21st-century success is based on a new leadership mindset. One that is ecosystem-based, leaner, and more adaptive than traditional strategic management models.

We are a team of digital native strategists and technologists who live and breathe new management and business models that our clients need to survive in the new world of ecosystems.

We are here to address the disruptive challenges that will drive transformative business impact.
