What organizations really need to do is constantly run experiments (i.e. test and learns) so that they can build new business models before the old ones become defunct.

And yes, I do value Taleb for his thoughts, but still think he’s an asshole:-)

I remain shocked at how few organizations build scenario planning into their operations to ensure they’ve a long-view…and a way of flexing to meet a world of shorter & shorter cycles.

Great read as always mate.
