Using Foresight to Plan & Make Decisions for Impact & Future Growth.

How The World Changes: Slowly, Then Suddenly.
You should read this if… you are sensing that major change rarely arrives as a single shock, but still feel surprised when disruption suddenly becomes unavoidable. This article explains how the world tends to change slowly at first and then suddenly, using concepts such as exponential growth and tipping points to show why long periods of apparent stability can give way to rapid transformation. It highlights why linear thinking leaves leaders exposed, and how futures thinking helps organisations spot early signals of change, understand non‑linear dynamics, and prepare for multiple futures before sudden shifts reshape markets, industries, and operating models.
