• The Great Remobilization: Designing A Smarter World (MIT Press, forthcoming in 4Q22 or 1Q2023) diagnoses tectonic shifts in the architecture of the Global Economy toward an emerging Global Cognitive Era. They fall into the 5C categories — Covid management & science, the Cognitive Economy & Crypto, Cybersecurity, Climate & Carbon, and China. #GreatRemo examines the implications and detects new patterns generated for countries, organizations and individuals before exploring a more desirable, balanced future with more anti-fragile systems in 2035. Through their new FLP-IT framework for strategic leadership, the authors then chart a path into this future, providing strategic steps and governance concepts for a new breed of “Design Activist Leaders” that are at once intellectual-analytical and also empathically tolerant of diverse notions of truth and fact. This new generation of leaders will employ zeroth principle thinking, create new inclusive visions, redefine growth beyond money, experiment to create shared facts and experiences, all with the aim to rebuilding the trust that will allow us to explore new horizons for both human and economic growth.

• A thought-provoking examination of artificial intelligence and how it reshapes human values, trust, and power around the world. Whether in medicine, money, security or love, technologies powered by forms of artificial intelligence are playing an increasingly prominent role in our societies and economies. As we cede more decisions to thinking machines, we face new questions about staying safe, keeping or succeeding on a job and having a say over the direction of our lives. In clear and accessible prose, global innovation trends, strategies and ventures adviser Olaf Groth, AI scientist and social entrepreneur Mark Nitzberg, along with seasoned economics reporter Dan Zehr, provide a unique human-focused, global view of humanity in a world of thinking machines.
