reprinted from Business Insider The world of credit cards we’ve been living for the past 40 years has increasingly cut us off from the feel of cash. But technology is about to change that and it will mean a shake-up in the financial advising industry, according to Australian futu.

When signals like FUTURIST emerge, organisations that engage early have the advantage of choosing their response rather than reacting to events. That gap between those who prepared and those who did not is where competitive positioning is actually made or lost.

The most important question is not whether FUTURIST will matter, but how quickly it will matter in your specific context. Leaders benefit most from mapping the ripple effects early — not just the direct impact but the second and third-order consequences that arrive later and hit harder. That is the practical work of foresight.
