In my recent post, Sense and Respond: A Survival Trait for a Converging World, I explored how the ability to detect and react to change in real time has become essential to survival. As convergence accelerates the pace of disruption across industries, systems, and geographies, the ability to sense what’s happening and respond effectively is no longer optional. It has become a core operating principle for organizations navigating uncertainty. But as the landscape continues to evolve, a deeper strategic shift is emerging—one that calls us to go beyond reacting quickly and begin shaping what comes next.
