Ben’s attention to the future led to concerns about a lack of awareness and preparedness for the changes ahead among most people and organizations.  He authored a book, The Potential[ist], Your Life and Career in a New Reality, with two companion books to follow in 2023 and 2024 to assist individuals and organizations to adapt and succeed in the opportunity-rich but turbulent times ahead.
