Strategies for a Smarter, Better Future

In a time of tectonic change, leaders face a critical challenge: how to build systems that are both resilient and trustworthy.

Insights from “The Great Remobilization”

Professor Terence Tse, lecturer at COTRUGLI Business School, explores this challenge in his latest book, The Great Remobilization. Co-authored with Olaf J. Groth and Mark Esposito, and supported by research partner Dan Zehr, the book analyzes deep structural changes in the global economy.

The authors propose a new global “operating system” and introduce the FLP-IT framework – Forces, Logics, Phenomena, Influences, and Triages – as a guide for future-ready leadership. This framework supports the development of the “activist designer leader”, a leader who shapes systems proactively rather than reacting to crises.

Navigating the Five Cs

The book identifies five critical global shifts, known as the Five Cs:

  • COVID and pandemic management
  • Cognitive economy and crypto
  • Cybersecurity
  • Climate change and carbon management
  • China and its expanding influence

Each of these shifts brings new forces and logic that significantly affect countries, organizations, and individuals.

Redesigning Global Strategies

Recent years have given leaders a unique chance to redesign outdated systems. As the authors explain, now is the time to re-mobilize toward a more just, resilient, and smarter future.

Drawing on insights from hundreds of interviews with global CEOs, entrepreneurs, diplomats, scientists, and other experts, the book shows how to restore trust, promote inclusive growth, and unlock the potential of the Reeconomy.

Practical Tips for Future-Ready Leadership

Professor Tse highlights several strategies for building organizations that can thrive in uncertain times:

  • Practice adaptive leadership: Stay flexible and respond quickly to change by adjusting strategies as new challenges arise.
  • Diversify talent: Recruit individuals with a range of skills and experiences to gain richer perspectives and more creative solutions.
  • Foster innovation: Create a culture that encourages experimentation and values creativity as a key tool for long-term resilience.
  • Commit to sustainability: Embed sustainability into all business operations to strengthen resilience and increase stakeholder trust.
  • Lead change effectively: Promote transparent communication around change and prepare teams through training and support.
