Hi ,
Early in the first season of Succession, media CEO, Kendall Roy meets with his Executive team to discuss the existential
threat presented by new technologies, such as the internet, to their business.
If the company can’t find a way to leverage these technologies, they’re “gonna be like the biggest horse trader in Detroit, 1909.”
Succession is a work of fiction, but many of the business challenges portrayed in the series are not.
The business opportunities of tomorrow are driven by the emerging technologies of today. And given the rapid pace of change in the technological landscape, many businesses of today are faced with a choice
between two options: start preparing for the impact of emerging technologies now, or go the way of horse traders after the invention of the automobile.
But how do you prepare for something if you don’t know what it looks like?
In my latest article, I provide a brief introduction to the emerging technologies with the potential to have the greatest impact on organisations over the next few years, and the implication of those technologies for the future of business.
