Legal Transformation? Business, AI, and New Suppliers are Key Drivers

February 2025ManagementConsultant

Abstract

Jake Campbell, a character in Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, explained how he went bankrupt: “Two ways. Gradually and then suddenly.” The humor of his observation masks its profound insight-and cautionary tale- about life, change, and human adaptation. Change is often gradual, providing early detectors time to adapt and, for some, to capture opportunity. Most individuals and groups, however, are captives of stasis, denial, and/or procrastination. They believe change is illusory- until it affects them. Their reckoning is often sudden and harsh.
