Yes, future-proofing is possible — but there's a catch. Historically, higher education has been a good example for future-proofing one's career: the more education you have, the more opportunities you get. Pretty straightforward.
In the context of digital transformation, how does a business future-proof its very existence as digitally native companies disrupt the traditional business model? There isn't just one answer or a magic bullet.
What future-proofing actually requires
Agility and speed — of processes, technology, and human resources. Innovative thinking — experimentation and taking calculated risks. A change in mindset — a platform can be a business, a competitor can also be a partner or customer, and 5–10 year plans no longer make sense.
Future-proofing your business is way more than implementing a new system with some automation built in. It requires a significant shift in mindset, which is a journey in itself — see our piece on learning through experimentation for one practical way to start that journey.
