The business world stands at a crossroads. Rapid changes in the environment, society, and technology, combined with growing pressures – from sustainability demands and resource scarcity to extreme climate events and geopolitical instability – are profoundly reshaping the context in which companies operate.
In this increasingly complex landscape, Nextcontinent, our international network, has undertaken an in-depth research project exploring the future of organisations. The goal is to help companies identify, analyse, and contextualise the critical factors that will influence strategic decisions in the years ahead.
This white paper focuses on a key scenario: the “survivalist organisation.”
Planetary-scale environmental degradation could lead to major social destabilisation, forcing radical changes in business environments and requiring a deep capacity for adaptation.
Through this perspective, the document explores four essential questions:
-
Why this future must be taken seriously
-
How it could unfold and what impacts it might have on companies
-
How businesses could evolve accordingly
-
What can be done today to prepare for such a possible future
Discover our insights and reflections to understand and navigate the “survivalist” future of organisations.
Thanks to Camille Gauthier, Speaker-resarcher, and Nextcontinent for this valuable collaboration.
