A key element of the book is a strategic planning, design-thinking framework dubbed FORMA that helps readers plan for change to build future-proof products via five interconnected principles: flexibility, “optimizability,” resilience, modularity and adaptivity.
Other sections detail how to transform uncertainty into advantage, mastering rebranding and reinvention, and how to upgrade your mindset to adapt to a rapidly changing world.
The book demonstrates how to craft innovative products, services and solutions that are built from the start to account for multiple possible futures, and also how to design strategies that are flexible and resilient enough to adapt to the future.
