Proximity
Columbia University Press (Verlag)
978-0-231-20758-4 (ISBN)
Robert C. Wolcott and Kaihan Krippendorff provide an indispensable guide to the Proximity revolution, showing how it’s transforming every industry—and our lives. Offering unparalleled foresight for leaders and innovators, they reveal how pervasive this trend will be. Proximity represents an entirely new way to serve customers, with critical implications for corporate strategy, investing, public policy, supply chain resilience, and sustainability. Incremental changes to existing business models won’t suffice.
Through interviews and compelling examples, Proximity shares stories of the people and companies leading the way. The book places rapidly advancing technologies—from generative AI and 3D printing to lab-grown meats, renewable energy, and virtual reality—in context and explores the factors accelerating the transformation.
Proximity offers a playbook for business leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs to win this rapidly emerging game—and for each of us to consider the implications for our careers, families, communities, and lives.
Robert C. Wolcott is cofounder and chair of The World Innovation Network (TWIN Global).

Wolcott is an active venture investor in more than thirty companies, many of which are leading the Proximity revolution. Kaihan Krippendorff is the founder of Outthinker Networks, a global think tank, and a professional speaker.
