Change has a Pattern
Every powerful new technology is like a jetpack. It promises new heights, and it scares you about where it might take you. Once everyone has one, not having one is how you get left behind. But owning it isn't the point, and neither is using it. Steering it is.
In Change Has a Pattern, anthropologist and futurist Sam Rad shows audiences the cycle every big change follows, why the new tools aren't paying off yet, and the four moves that turn the corner. The pattern has repeated through five thousand years of recorded history, which is why the message works in any industry and lands with any room: it is universal, and above all, human.
In times of radical disruption there is no roadmap, and what got you here won't get you there. The natural reaction is to brace. Sam uses history, and a clear look at what's coming, to make the change feel less daunting.
People don't just walk out ready for what's next. They walk out wanting it.
