How to survive and thrive in the age of creative destruction

Abstract

There is a Chinese curse which says “May he live in interesting times.” By all accounts we live in the most interesting times. Human kind has never witnessed so much danger and uncertainty. At the same time these are the most creative times in the history of mankind. This phenomenon of Creative Destruction will have its victims but it will also create many winners. The winners will be those who can gather enormous amounts of data, harness the computing power to get insights out of the data and create augmented intelligence that matches or even exceeds human intelligence.
