Age of Transformation was created to track the deep structural forces reshaping our world: the unraveling of the fossil-fueled industrial order and the emergence of a new civilisational paradigm across energy, economy, ecology, technology, and power.
Over the past years, the platform has helped surface the signals of this planetary phase shift often well ahead of mainstream recognition by integrating systems science, complexity theory, and long-range foresight. That work has established Age of Transformation as a leading voice in understanding how global systems break down, reorganise, and give rise to new orders.
That foundation remains intact. And as the planetary phase shift accelerates, Age of Transformation is now entering a new stage of its own evolution.
Dr. Nafeez Ahmed and Divyesh Desai are now co-leading Age of Transformation, bringing together two forms of intelligence that this moment increasingly demands to be held together: civilisation scale systems foresight and execution aware commercial judgment.
Dr. Ahmed’s work has articulated the planetary phase shift as a coherent framework showing how multiple crises converge, how tipping points emerge, and how breakdown functions not as an endpoint, but as a release phase that makes new structures possible. This framework continues to anchor Age of Transformation’s worldview.
Divyesh Desai brings a complementary lens forged inside global energy and capital markets, where structural transitions collide with pricing dynamics, balance sheets, infrastructure constraints, and political economy. His work grounds long-range foresight in the realities of how markets behave, how capital moves, and how transitions succeed or fail in practice.
Together, this partnership deepens Age of Transformation’s role as a signal intelligence platform for a world moving through systemic transition.
The platform’s focus is sharpening:
- from understanding breakdown to anticipating re-pricing;
- from diagnosing systemic risk to clarifying strategic consequence;
- from mapping transformation to informing action in the real economy.
Age of Transformation will continue to synthesise signals across energy, climate, AI, food systems, materials, geopolitics, and culture. But it will now do so with an explicit emphasis on what these phase shifts mean for capital allocation, policy design, institutional resilience, and long-term strategy.
As the old order enters a more volatile back loop of breakdown and release, and as new systems begin to surface unevenly and non-linearly, the need for integrated, decision-grade intelligence has never been greater.
Age of Transformation exists to meet that need.
