Ramo encourages embracing uncertainty, fostering diversity, and creating dynamic networks to harness the power of unconventional ideas and foster resilience.

Through this compelling and thought-provoking narrative, Ramo presents a blueprint for adapting to a world defined by constant change, unanticipated risks, and interconnected complexities.
