A commentary on the speed of change. But beyond the clichés, this acceleration is not merely perceived— it is quantifiably real. In military technology alone, the shift from conceptual AI capabilities to operational AI-driven intelligence systems has occurred within a remarkably brief period, dramatically enhancing decision-making speed and accuracy. According to a report by the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence( NSCAI), AI integration in military operations has led to decision-making processes becoming 40 % faster and significantly more accurate, reducing response times in critical scenarios( NSCAI, 2021).
In a world of accelerating technological disruption, transformational thinking— the ability to foresee and adapt to shifting“ forms” rather than merely observing incremental data points— is emerging as the defining superpower for future leaders. This is a skill that enables executives to anticipate new realities rather than simply react to present challenges.
