The world faces social, political, and economic turmoil on an
unprecedented scale--along with unsettling levels of
turbulence and volatility. Market leadership today is less of a
predictor of leadership tomorrow. Therefore, senior executives
today must strive to own the future.

In Own the Future, The Boston Consulting Group, one of
the world's most prestigious and innovative management
consulting firms, offers a roadmap. Drawing on the firm's
experience advising organizations on how to achieve and sustain
competitive advantage, this book offers 50 ideas to help readers
chart their organization's path to future leadership. The
articles are organized along ten attributes critical to success in
the current environment--adaptive, global, connected,
sustainable, customer-first, fit to win, value-driven, trusted,
bold, and inspiring.

The future may be unknowable, but The Boston Consulting Group
offers insights from its 50 years of practice on how readers can
position their organization to win--to change the game and to
own the future.
