To avoid irrelevancy, businesses, nonprofit entities, and federal agencies will all need to adapt to this accelerating pace of change. Stated differently, we can’t just be concerned with today; we need to focus on the future. To capitalize on our opportunities and minimize related risks, all organizations must be mindful of the big picture and the long view.
