Urgent Global Crises and Their Strategic Solutions
By Blair H Sheppard
"Shows how humans have brought us to the brink and how humanity can find
solutions. I urge people to read with humility and the daring to act." --Harpal
Singh, former Chair, Save the Children, India, and former Vice Chair, Save the
Children International In conversations with people all over the world, from
government officials and business leaders to taxi drivers and schoolteachers,
Blair Sheppard, global leader for strategy and leadership at PwC, discovered they
all had surprisingly similar concerns. In this prescient and pragmatic book, he
and his team sum up these concerns in what they call the ADAPT framework:
Asymmetry of wealth; Disruption wrought by the unexpected and often
problematic consequences of technology; Age disparities--stresses caused by
very young or very old populations in developed and emerging countries;
Polarization as a symptom of the breakdown in global and national consensus;
and loss of Trust in the institutions that underpin and stabilize society.
