Employees, particularly important talents, who understand the threat of disruption but believe their organization isn’t sufficiently prepared may jump ship. This means leaders need to act. Every organization faces imperative change. Digital disruption will affect almost every industry, manifesting in many forms: mobile technology, AI, blockchain, virtual reality, 3D printers, self-driving vehicles, and more. Companies must update the skills and advantages that they are deploying to compete or today’s practices will become tomorrow’s impediments and will enable your more nimble competitors to win.
