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

Studies such as the Accenture Pulse of Change Index confirm that the speed of change is increasing disproportionately.
According to a recent McKinsey study, up to 3 million jobs in Germany could be significantly changed over the next 5 years through the use of AI. This corresponds to around 7 percent of total employment.
According to a study by the Center of Automotive Management (CAM) in Bergisch Gladbach, Chinese car manufacturers have significantly expanded their innovation leadership. With a 46% share of global innovation strength, they have significantly improved their position since 2019/20 (then 21%). German manufacturers fell from 45% to 23% in the same period.
According to a study by the VDI, less than a third of the population agree with the statement that Germany is particularly fast compared to other countries and brings new technologies to market quickly.
Employees spend 22.5% of their time searching for information. At a time when knowledge is becoming ever more important and information ever more abundant, this is a productivity killer.
