The Old Playbooks Are Expiring
The frameworks that built the modern economy weren't designed for trade realignment, AI disruption, and the shift from unipolar to multipolar power.
Traditional consulting sells decks for a world that no longer exists. AI vendors promise automation without context. China specialists have language skills but lack systems thinking.
You need someone who understands both sides — and builds systems that work for what's next.
