Future readiness gap

The speed of change is increasing. Companies that are unable to keep up the pace are risking their future viability.

Studies such as the Accenture Pulse of Change Index confirm that the speed of change is increasing disproportionately.

And this is precisely where a gap opens up that we call the future readiness gap: A gap between the speed at which markets are changing and the ability of companies to keep pace.

Closing this gap requires the right tools, but also a culture that embraces change, an organization that shares knowledge and teams that are willing to keep learning new things.
