We are experiencing a new Promethean moment: Just as Prometheus giving fire to humanity transformed civilization, recent technological advancements, like AI, genomics, or quantum computing, promise to transform how business and society work. Technological advancements bring great benefits to society—often exceeding the anticipations of the developers.

Enthusiasm for new technologies, fear of geopolitical strife and climate disaster, and our society’s polarized politics are driving the agenda of business. This creates a turbulent environment, which “we are navigating by the stars under cloudy skies”, in the words of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. In this context, clear judgment—calmly applied—becomes a source of advantage.
