Why now?
Periods of rapid change bring great risks and great opportunities.
There is an emerging consensus that we are entering a transformational period that will be defined by increased volatility and unfamiliar challenges.
Most organizations are good at solving problems they have already faced, but are less effective at navigating those they have not yet encountered.
Inability to respond
to non-linear change can significantly damage or sink an organization. However,
dynamic environments also open new opportunities.
Our approaches help leaders and
innovators avoid hazards, find opportunities, and chart new paths through
the territory ahead.
Why we exist
Rethinkery supports leaders and innovators working to navigate disruptive change.
The automation of work. The sustainability crisis. The rise of a digital coordination economy. The Fourth Industrial Revolution.
To many leaders, it has become clear that our organizations are entering a period of great uncertainty. Yet, the approaches we continue to rely on are inadequate when the territory is unfamiliar. As the saying goes, generals are always fighting the last war.
Worse, there is little solid analysis of these new territories and their implications. What does exist reflects the perspective of only a few, and tends to favor hype over rigorous investigation. This is inadequate if we want to reveal new paths forward.
After more than fifteen years exploring emerging issues and technologies for dozens of large companies and government agencies, I realized what they really need is a way to systematically stress-test assumptions and reveal new framings that provide insight into our dynamic operating environment.
Rethinkery was founded to address this gap. Our Network Intelligence Platform leverages human computation to tap into the diverse viewpoints of hundreds of verified experts around the world. We challenge what organizations think they know about the unfamiliar territory ahead and provide new ways of thinking that lead organizations toward increased resilience and opportunity.
