In days past, when all communication was purely analog, one had to physically stand up and speak out to be heard by a larger audience. Those days are over. Now, we sit behind individual screens to communicate and debate, mostly through brief texts because speed is of the essence. And when it comes to expressing emotions, we often resort to emojis, as language alone doesn't seem to suffice anymore.

Let's get a banality out of the way: It is essential for every top manager and every company to be future-oriented. To adapt to the changing circumstances. New demands in the market, new technologies, new legislation, new cultural currents or suddenly emerging competitors. No one wants to die like Kodak, who didn't see digitalization. That is the classic case. But it's not good to look into chaos either. Running after random buzzwords and exciting futurists is a waste of time. And it's downright stupid to throw away all the eggs you have in your hand to grab some new ones that might not even be worth grabbing.
