The Disruptors' Feast: How to avoid being devoured in today's rapidly changing global economy
By Frits van Paasschen '83
“We are all drowning in data and starved for wisdom. The Disruptors' Feast is more than a business book. It is full of wisdom about how our lives are being transformed by technology and disruption. In a lively and intimate style, Frits van Paasschen draws on his experience as a global business leader to offer advice on how we can prepare ourselves and our institutions to thrive and make sense of a tumultuous world.” — Arianna Huffington, co-founder, The Huffington Post, and author of Thrive and The Sleep Revolution
Virtually everything about the way people live and do business is changing faster than ever before. Digital technology, global development, urbanization, and business disruption represent both a major opportunity and a threat in the global economy. Although individuals and organizations are aware that the world is changing exponentially, most are ill-equipped to face this level of disruption and volatility. The Disruptors' Feast is a unique look into the trends that are shaping the world of the future, and a guide on how to avoid being eaten alive.
