Paolo Taticchi’s expertise lies in sustainability transformation, competitive strategy, consulting, and the future of cities. In his latest book, How to Be Sustainable: Business Strategies for Leading Change, he shares the strategies for organisations to achieve sustainable success. In Disruption, he explains how the role of the CEO is undergoing significant transformation. No longer merely an executor of strategies, the CEO is evolving into a “chief equilibrium officer”, capable not only of steering the organisation but also of interpreting changes with agility, identifying dissonance, and reshaping equilibrium.
