Leading Futurist Roger Spitz Expands Foresight Offerings Focused on Global Disorder, Grand Strategy & the “Three Gs”: Geopolitics, Geoeconomics & Geotechnology

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, January 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Disruptive Futures Institute today announced the launch of a major new strategic foresight practice and global keynote series focused on Global Disorder, Grand Strategy, and the “Three Gs” of Geopolitics, Geoeconomics, and Geotechnology. This expansion addresses the critical need for “Anticipatory Governance” as companies, institutions, and nations navigate a fracturing world defined by what Disruptive Futures Institute Chair Roger Spitz has coined “Metaruptions” – deep, interconnected, and systemic shifts arising from convergence of technological, ecological, geopolitical, economic, and societal forces. Amplified by the diffusion of global power, these cascading interactions fuel radical unpredictability.

As the lines between kinetic conflict, cyber-attacks, geoeconomics, and information manipulation blur, the Disruptive Futures Institute is operationalizing its frameworks to help boards, policymakers, and investors anticipate the collision of the Three Gs: Geopolitics, Geoeconomics, and Geotechnology.

Formalizing this expansion, the Disruptive Futures Institute introduces the “DFI Geopolitics Center for Grand Strategy.”

This specialized foresight practice focuses on Global Disorder and the “Three Gs” (Geopolitics, Geoeconomics, and Geotechnology). The DFI Geopolitics Center is designed to help CEOs, boards, policymakers, and investors build Resilience and develop Grand Strategy with Anticipatory Governance to navigate Metaruptions and secure strategic advantage in a fracturing world.

“We have moved beyond simple volatility into a state of liminality and multipolarity. In this hybrid world, state and non-state actors compete for dominance, driven by irreconcilable worldviews and rules that are increasingly ignored. This diffusion of power fuels radical unpredictability; as incompatible visions of global order collide, the ability to find consensus erodes.” – Roger Spitz, Chair, Disruptive Futures Institute

THE ERA OF MULTIPOLARITY & METARUPTIONS
We have entered the era of the Metaruption – a multidimensional family of systemic disruptions where the interaction of forces amplifies unpredictability. These are complex, self-reinforcing shifts that transcend mere trends, rewriting the rules of industries, governance, and society. Metaruptions generate widespread effects that extend beyond the initial shock; as changes ripple through systems, they ultimately disrupt the nature of disruption itself.

Crucially, Spitz identifies a specific Metaruption that has become as urgent as physical defense: “Info-Ruption.”

“We define disruption’s effects on information as ‘Info-Ruption’ – a pervasive and radical change in worldwide data with cascading effects on how information is interpreted, used, and misused,” Spitz explains. “Through Info-Ruption, anything can change in an instant. An undeclared and invisible battle is now fought entirely through algorithms, narratives, and manipulated media.”

Spitz emphasizes that in this environment, preserving Human Agency – the ability to discern truth and make autonomous choices – is a matter of national and organizational security and resilience.

“The importance of epistemic security and cybersecurity is now comparable to that of national security.” – Roger Spitz

BRIDGING INVESTMENT BANKING, GRAND STRATEGY & THE THREE Gs
This new offering is backed by Spitz’s unique convergence of high-level investment banking experience and specialized focus in the metaruptive effects of the “Three Gs”: Geopolitics, Geoeconomics, and Geotechnology.

Building on his tenure as Global Head of Technology, Aerospace & Defense M&A at BNP Paribas – where he advised on over 50 transactions valued at $25 billion – Spitz has fortified his practice with a suite of Professional Certificates from King’s College London in Grand Strategy, Artificial Intelligence in National Security, Strategic Communications, and Wargaming.

This blend of financial pragmatism and geopolitical studies positions the Disruptive Futures Institute to advise on Grand Strategy and resilience in the context of hybrid threats and global disorder. In an era of accelerating metaruptions, leaders can no longer rely on linear forecasts. Roger Spitz unpacks the futures of geopolitics and global order, exploring how power shifts, systemic fragmentation, and emerging technologies like AI are redefining governance, security, and strategy worldwide.

The DFI Geopolitics Center for Grand Strategy focus areas include key strategic foresight themes, offerings, and keynote talks:

• Systemic Risk & Global Disorder: Navigating the erosion of consensus.
• The “Three Gs”: The collision of Geopolitics, Geoeconomics, and Geotechnology.
• Grand Strategy: Applying non-linear, asymetric strategies in an unpredictable world.
• Epistemic Security: Protecting truth and decision-making integrity.

These keynotes equip decision-makers to anticipate disruption, navigate uncertainty, and shape resilient strategies in a world where old rules no longer apply.

• Epistemic Security: The protection of the integrity of knowledge and information systems, which Spitz argues is now comparable to national security.
• Techistentialism: A concept developed by Spitz to address the philosophical and practical challenges of human agency and relevance in the age of AI.
