Dance of Disruption and Creation: Epochal Change and the Opportunity for Enterprise

It’s an exciting time to be alive! We are witness to an epoch of change, a dance of disruption and creation, that may be re-imagining our world. Where are these disruptions coming from? What opportunities do they uncover? How can one make sense of them? And most importantly, how must one prepare and act? This book, written by two influential business leaders, unpacks these “epochal” changes and how they represent a defining moment of opportunity for the world of business.

Nandu Nandkishore and Neeraj Chandra draw upon diverse sources, academic literature, discussions with CEOs, startup founders and experts, with a view to bear in mind the significant pivots of change emerging from a wide canvas and then stitch together a point of view of an exciting, brave new world. Unlike many other books that focal point only on emerging technologies, the authors here look at disruption through several lenses: technology, demographics, economic change, the changing nature of institutions, and the interplay of technology as it fundamentally shapes consumers and society. The book goes beyond describing changes taking place. It explores the “why so” and “so what” to provide an understanding of the shifts taking place, and crucially, the implications for the world of enterprise. The usage of simple examples and frameworks all over, the book provides specific, action-oriented solutions that businesses can employ.

This book will be of specific interest to business leaders, strategists, investment professionals, in addition to social scientists and public servants. It is for change-makers who are excited to clutch the unique opportunity that this change represents – to build competitive advantage, re-invent markets and enterprise, and indeed, to make the world a better place.
