What We Do

RethinkX is an independent research organization that analyzes and forecasts the speed and scale of technology-driven disruption and its implications across society. We produce impartial, data-driven analyses that identify pivotal choices to be made by investors, business, policy and civic leaders.

 
 
 

Mission

To facilitate a robust global conversation about the threats and opportunities of technology-driven disruptions, and highlight choices that could lead to a more equitable, healthy, resilient and stable society.

 

 

Vision

RethinkX’s framework, models and analyses help leading decision makers in finance, business, technology and government make better informed decisions to create the foundation for a new operating system for humanity.

 

 

About the project

We focus on understanding the dynamics and the systemic nature of disruption across key market sectors. 


RethinkX uses the Seba Technology Disruption Framework™ to capture the interactions between technology, business models and market forces to forecast the scope, speed and scale of technology-driven disruption and its implications across key market sectors.  

 
 

Our Funding

RethinkX is funded by its founders James Arbib and Tony Seba and with grants from Tellus Mater, an independent philanthropic foundation founded by James Arbib that is dedicated to exploring the impacts of disruptive technology, and its potential for solving some of the world’s most challenging problems.

It is, of course, just one of many visions of the future, but it’s a thoughtful one, and quite a bit of it rings true.

[The RethinkX authors] really nailed it...Whether all that can happen as fast as they say is another matter. But it might.
