It all fits into an interesting quote by Bill Gates: “We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten“.
That quote takes a particular taste coming from a person that is deemed to have missed, when it comes to Microsoft’s strategy, many of the key changes brought by technology in the last decade.
Our forecasting ability is exceedingly limited. Change takes it time to transform the world, but it will roll on inevitably. Today, I believe we totally underestimate the changes in our daily life, our institutions, our organizations, that are being brought by the Fourth Revolution. These changes will be tremendous. As Gates says, let us not being lulled into inaction, but let us anticipate what is coming. It is only at this condition that we will benefit from it.
Change starts now. When do you start?
