Create the Future

Tactics for Disruptive Thinking

By: Jeremy Gutsche, Malcolm Gladwell - foreword

Narrated by: Walter Dixon

Create the Future is an exciting guidebook for disruptive thinking, innovation, and change, paired with The Innovation Handbook, an updated version of the award-winning book, Exploiting Chaos. The bestseller is loaded with the same tactics, tools, and frameworks that Gutsche's team uses to accelerate 700 of the world's most powerful brands, billionaires, CEOs, and NASA.

Throughout history, we know that chaos reshuffles the deck, changes consumer needs, switches who is in the lead, and creates unprecedented risk and opportunity. Chaos causes most people to retreat—but not always. Disney, CNN, Square, HP, Apple, Fortune Magazine, Uber, and AirBnB are just a few examples of companies that started during periods of rampant chaos and global economic recession. Crisis and chaos create opportunity, if you know where to look. The challenge is that your own success, neurological wiring, past decisions, and "7 Traps of Path Dependency" make it more difficult for you to realize your full potential.

In our post-COVID era of chaos and disruptive innovation, there are so many great opportunities within reach; however, most smart and successful people miss out because of these proven proven traps. If you could overcome these traps, what could you accomplish? How much more successful could your plans for innovation and change, actually be?

For a new book the info seems outdated

Not that great of a narrator, the information is dated. I am disappointed in this book, I kept listening with the hope something would seem new and relevant. I suggest not wasting your time on this one.

Outdated

Impossible to finish. The book offer no insight to innovative thinking, nor have any innovative thinking at all. It is all very generalize and cite too many mainstream thoughts that did not work out.
