What Is Future Shock Exposure Index?

Ian Khan | 2026-01-21

The Future Shock Exposure Index quantifies the proportion of organizational value vulnerable to sudden technological displacement.

Why It Matters

  • Quantifies organizational vulnerability to technological displacement
  • Focuses preparedness efforts on highest-risk areas
  • Identifies concentration risk and supports mitigation planning

How It Is Measured

Analyze revenue concentration, process dependency on current technologies, differentiation durability, and organizational adaptation speed.

Common Use Cases

  • Technology-intensive sectors facing rapid change
  • Asset-heavy industries with long investment cycles
  • Digitally lagging organizations
  • Rapidly evolving markets

Model

Exposure = (Value at Risk × Disruption Probability) ÷ Adaptation Speed
