Our research focuses on post-industrial management thinking and tools. We seek to develop better ways for leaders to navigate and exploit the rapid changes that are occurring.

By the post-industrial transition we are referring to the combination of exponential technology development and decentralization that is reshaping our economy and civilization. The end point of this transformation is decentralized production, machine intelligence, and a control of organic and inorganic matter similar to how we think of software today.

The transition is a messy process. Many of the technologies are still quite immature and evolving at a rapid pace. The Covid-19 pandemic greatly accelerated many aspects of decentralization, but it also brought with it a dramatic increase in government interference. Economic freedom is not moving in the right direction, and geopolitical tensions also introduce additional uncertainty. At the same time, recent progress in AI is accelerating change across the board.

Our research forms the basis of our advisory work, which in turn helps fuel further research, ensuring that we address the problems that matter most.
