This is the third and final part of our three-part series. So far, we’ve covered Inflection Theory and how to be pattern-breaking. We’ve talked about a shift from pursuing whitespace and pain points to inflections and nonconsensus. This week, we discuss how to apply it —

After all, maybe you don’t want to be a Pattern Breaker.

Maybe you’re not trying to be a 100x founder.

Maybe you don’t have to want to change the game. Maybe you just want to exploit the same game while it lasts.

That’s fine.

However, the ideas and thoughts we’ve discussed are for everyone. They’re for product owners and team leaders. They’re for CEO’s and educators. They’re for strategists and designers.

Why do I say that so confidently? Because the future is coming. New empowerments are coming. There are innovations on the horizon that will fundamentally change our world which means we all need to think beyond the here and now.
