    C-suite executives must prepare for the unexpected

    There’s little clarity on a range of economic, regulatory, cybersecurity, geopolitical and trade issues, and digital disruption has made widespread and multidimensional uncertainty the new normal.

Many organizations respond to turns by ad hoc changes, such as restructuring their enterprise architecture, but our research shows that some progressive business leaders do more than survive; they thrive — by embracing turns as a prime opportunity to seize and sustain a competitive edge.
