West convincingly argues that we must understand all three factors to get leverage over the future - a future filled with eroding rule of law, deepfakes that upend elections and court decisions, government pressure for businesses to be patriotic, robot lobbyists, a flood of automated legal claims pointed directly at your company and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnruly\u003c\/i\u003e offers detailed, practical advice for how to understand the world ahead, how to be resilient in the face of innumerable and complex challenges, and how to surround your business with the people and technology you need to excel in this environment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInside the book: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA framework for understanding all of the pressures on modern corporations from the convergence of geopolitics, technology and law.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStrategies for turning your company's legal department into a source of enduring competitive advantage\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to navigate government pressure for nationalism when you have a global footprint\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApproaches to winning in a world where courts are politicized and the law is increasingly automated, built on interviews with top experts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWays to deal with the backlash to ESG at a company level\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003ePerfect for executives, managers, entrepreneurs, founders, and other business leaders, \u003ci\u003eUnruly\u003c\/i\u003e is also a must-read for general counsels and the advisors who serve them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eUnruly: Fighting Back when Politics, AI, and Law Upend the Rules of Business, \u003c\/i\u003e veteran global affairs expert Sean West delivers a razor-sharp and timely new discussion of how politics, technology, and law are converging to disrupt the rules of business. Through detailed case studies and irreverent personal stories from his experience as a globe-trotting CEO advisor, West explains how unprecedented disruption creates dangerous risks and incredible opportunities for firms of all sizes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe world is becoming unruly--not just more volatile but literally \"un-ruling\" as the laws and norms of politics and business are eroding in front of our eyes. An entire region can be remade in weeks. Technological breakthroughs are no longer tremors but earthquakes shaking the foundations of established businesses. The law has gone from being a safeguard to being a weapon that can be pointed at enemies, juiced by artificial intelligence. As the dashboards of CEOs fill with red flags, executives need a new guide to help them make sense of the new landscape in which their businesses are competing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnruly\u003c\/i\u003e will equip you to win the next decade. West offers the concept of an \"Unruly Triangle\" between politics, law and technology that create the novel synthetic challenges of Geolegal Risk, Artificial Politics Risk, and LegalAI Risk. No longer can you fight politics with lobbying, legal with lawyers and technology with innovation: You need cross-cutting strategies to leverage the whole of your enterprise. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrucially, Sean West inspires us to realize that we are far from helpless amid all this change. \u003ci\u003eUnruly\u003c\/i\u003e offers detailed, practical advice for how you can fight back against the unruliness in all forms. The book will teach you how to digest and combat everything from deepfakes to government pressure for patriotism; from robot lobbyists to automated legal weapons; from sanctions to technology that slows for no regulator. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn essential guide to lasting corporate resilience in a rapidly evolving marketplace, \u003ci\u003eUnruly\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-read for CEOs, general counsel and entrepreneurs as well as the lawyers and consultants who advise them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for UNRULY\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A truly thought-provoking, compelling book...critical reading.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e--GEN.
