About The Book
High Frequency Change talks about how change happens quicker now than ever before and that this change is being driven largely by technological change. Feeding into the belief that we’re on track towards a technological singularity, where machines become advanced beyond any control. Historians, however, veto this idea of accelerating change, pointing back in time to points of dramatic change, from the industrial revolution, the shift from horse to the car and the advancement of domestic automation.
Inside this book, Tom aims to settle this argument; suggesting that change is too complex to be boxed into a simple fast or slow definition, believing a more heuristic way of describing would be a change in the form of waves amplitude and frequency. Tom states the currently connected computing revolution is another low-frequency wave with a high amplitude (impact) and a long wavelength (duration), just like previous technological revolutions. But it has enabled high-frequency changes, which have a lower overall impact but rise and fall incredibly quickly.
Both people and organisations aren’t prepared for high-frequency change. We don’t have the tools to deal with it, so it’s incredibly disruptive to our ability to plan and operate. Meaning we need a new way we look and thinking about business, and our own careers, if sustainability is to be built inside success in the age of high-frequency change. This is what this book offers you.
