Markets move through phases of peace, war and wonder. Each stage calls for different tactics and levels of investment.
No single adoption pattern explains everything. Different groups uptake technology in waves, each with their own diffusion curve.
Some events are certain to happen even if we can't predict precisely when. Think in terms of the probability of what will occur versus the probability of when it will happen.
Early-stage ideas carry significant risk. As components mature and standardise, uncertainty reduces and investment becomes safer.
Some disruptions can be anticipated, while others appear without warning. Plan for both predictable and unpredictable change.
Exact timings are impossible to plot. Instead of chasing precision, accept uncertainty and watch for signals that a shift is under way.
