Hey everyone, Visual Capitalist just released a brilliant visual showing how innovation comes in long waves — and how each wave reshapes the world. From steam and railways to AI and clean tech, history shows us that disruption isn’t random — it’s cyclical. 💡 Based on the “creative destruction” theory by economist Joseph Schumpeter, the graphic shows how every major leap — like the internet or electrification — triggers a chain of transformation across industries. If you’re leading projects or building strategy, understanding these cycles isn’t just interesting — it’s essential. It helps us see where value is created, what might be declining, and where to place our bets next.
