The article provides a prescription for entrepreneurs, corporates, and governments in adopting a level of thinking and a class of ideas that become better in cases of extreme uncertainty.

“How might we survive in the present, reframing our current capabilities to create new present value? How might we look to the future to seek out the new opportunities that will inevitably emerge? How might we reframe an uncertain future into a strategic advantage?
