g-f(2)72 THE BIG PICTURE OF THE DIGITAL AGE: BCG, How to Build Sustainable Business Advantage in a World Where Great Is No Longer Good Enough

VIRAL KNOWLEDGE: The “genioux facts” knowledge news

Extra-condensed knowledge

As BCG’s new book Beyond Great shows, the world has been transformed by three powerful, disruptive forces: social tension, economic nationalism, and technological revolution.

• In this new era, great performance is no longer good enough. And the old playbook to build business advantage is no longer sufficient.
• One thing is certain, though: We’re living in a time of unprecedented volatility, and we’re reeling from shock; most notably, from the COVID-19 pandemic. The breakneck pace and profound impact of all three disruptive forces shaping this new era are driving market volatility to new heights and shrinking the average lifespan of companies and their leaders.
