Along with change comes disruption. And with disruption comes opportunity. Jobs and companies are going away in the blink of an eye, and start-ups are appearing just as fast. How many cell phones have you had in the past five years? The pace of change is only increasing.

The author Alvin Toffler predicted this in his seminal book, Future Shock. The future that Toffler predicted in 1970 is upon us – and has been for many years. He predicted the explosion of information sharing and the disruption of the formalized workplace culture.

Despite the writings of Toffler and other futurists, most people – and most companies – have not stayed ahead of the waves of change.

We have seen through our research, discussions with leaders, best-selling authors, and many of our Fortune 500 clients that the three waves of change are causing the following six factors to emerge. These factors have everything to do with how we deliver goods and services, motivate and engage people, and build relationships to fulfill our shared need for a sense of contribution in our daily lives.
