The Never Normal: how to leverage the Uncertainty Principle

Uncertainty isn’t a bug – it’s where the biggest possibilities live. Peter reframes volatility as a strategic asset and offers a manual for building organisations that move faster and think bigger: redesigning strategy and governance for speed, cultivating ‘active hope’, tuning risk appetite, and modernising culture, innovation systems, and the nature of work. Through actionable levers, leaders learn how to transform shocks -technological, geopolitical, biological, or ecological- into momentum and build companies that become vessels of progress.
