Future  of  Business  and  Society  By  2025,  organisa0ons  driven  solely  by  profit  will  not  be  sustainable.    

How  will  they  evolve  to  address  new  challenges,  develop    opportuni0es  and  contribute  to  society?  

Page 3: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Future  Agenda  The  Future  Agenda  is  the  world’s  largest  open  foresight  program    

that  accesses  mul0ple  views  of  the  next  decade  so  we  can  all    be  beOer  informed  and  s0mulate  innova0on.  

Page 4: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Looking  Forwards  Organisa0ons  increasingly  want  to  iden0fy  and  understand  

 both  the  an0cipated  and  unexpected  changes  so    that  they  can  be  beOer  prepared  for  the  future.

Future  Agenda  1.0  Top  Insights  for  2020  From  the  2010  program,  52  key  insights  on  the  next  decade  were  shared    widely  and  have  been  extensively  used  by  organisa0ons  around  the  world.    

Future  Agenda  became  the  world’s  largest  open  foresight  plaRorm.

The  World  in  2025  |  Some  Contextual  ShiRs  for  the  Next  Decade  

   

Page 9: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Everything  Connected  Over  1  trillion  sensors  are  connected  to  mul0ple  networks:  everything  that  can    benefit  from  a  connec0on  has  one.  We  deliver  10,000x  more  data  100x  more  effec0vely  but  are  concerned  about  the  security  of  the  informa0on  that  flows.    

   

Page 10: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

 Imbalanced  PopulaUon  Growth    A  growing  popula0on  adds  another  billion  people  but  it  is  also  rapidly  ageing:    a  child  born  next  year  will  live  6  months  longer  than  one  born  today.  While    migra0on  helps  to  rebalance,  increasing  dependency  ra0os  challenge  many.    

   

Page 11: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

ShiRing  Power  and  Influence  The  centre  of  gravity  of  economic  power  con0nues  shibing  eastwards,  back  to    where  it  was  200  years  ago.  Recent  superpowers  seek  to  moderate  the  pace  of    change  but  the  reali0es  of  popula0on  and  resource  loca0ons  are  immoveable.  

   

Page 12: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Air  Quality    Rising  air  pollu0on  in  many  ci0es  is  killing  people  and  becomes    a  visible  catalyst  for  changing  mind-­‐sets  and  policies  across    

health,  energy,  transporta0on  and  urban  design.  

   

Page 13: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Autonomous  Vehicles    The  shib  to  fully  autonomous  transport  is  an  evolu0on  via  truck  platoons  on    highways  and  small  urban  delivery  pods.  Connected  cars  create  the  network    and  test  the  technologies  for  the  eventual  revolu0onary  driverless  experience.  

   

Page 14: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

OpUmising  Last  Mile  Delivery    Seamless,  integrated  and  shared  last-­‐mile  delivery  replaces  inefficient    

compe00on  and  duplica0on  of  goods  distribu0on.  Greater  efficiency  in  moving    things  is  as  important  as  in  moving  people  and  so  a  major  focus  for  innova0on.  

   

Page 15: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Food  Waste    30-­‐50%  of  our  food  is  wasted  either  in  the  supply  chain  or  in  consump0on  and    could  feed  another  3  billion.  Op0mising  distribu0on  and  storage  in  developing  countries  and  enabling  beOer  consumer  informa0on  in  others  could  solve  this.  

   

Page 16: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Affordable  Healthcare      The  escala0ng  cost  of  healthcare  is  further  stressed  by  the  need  to  support    the  old  and  the  chronically  ill.  Spending  20%  of  GDP  on  healthcare  is  seen  as  unsustainable  so  hard  decisions  are  taken  around  budgets  and  priori0es.  

   

Page 17: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

AcceleraUng  Displacement  Climate  change,  conflict,  resource  shortages,  inequality  and  poli0cal  elites  

unwilling  to  bring  about  necessary  change  all  trigger  unprecedented    migra0on  to  the  North.  As  many  as  1  billion  people  could  be  on  the  move.  

   

Page 18: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Rising  Youth  Unemployment  With  unemployment  rates  over  50%  in  some  na0ons,  access  to  work  is  a  rising    barrier.  Especially  across  North  Africa,  the  Middle  East  and  southern  Europe,    a  lost  genera0on  of  100m  young  people  fails  to  gain  from  global  growth.  

   

Page 19: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

CiUzen-­‐Centric  CiUes      Successful  ci0es  will  be  designed  around  the  needs  and  desires  of    increasingly  empowered  and  enabled  ci0zens  -­‐  who  are  expec0ng    personalized  services  from  the  organisa0ons  that  serve  them.    

   

Page 20: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

EducaUon  RevoluUon  Broader  access  to  improved  educa0on  acts  as  a  major  catalyst  for    

empowerment,  sustained  economic  growth,  overcoming  inequality  and    reducing  conflict.  We  need  an  educa0on  system  fit  for  the  digital  revolu0on.  

   

Page 21: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

CreaUve  Economy    The  crea0ve  economy  helps  to  build  inclusive  and  sustainable  cultures.    What’s  more,  it  generates  wealth.  To  build  scale  it  requires  a  workforce    

comfortable  with  collabora0on,  cri0cal  thinking  and  the  ability  to  take  a  risk.    

   

Page 22: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

SomeUmes  Nomads    Elec0ve  migra0on,  cheap  travel,  interna0onal  knowledge  sharing  and    

increasingly  transient  working  models  create  connected  nomads  who  mix  the  tradi0ons  of  home  with  the  values  and  customs  of  their  host  loca0on.  

   

Page 23: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Agelessness    A  person’s  physical  age  becomes  less  important  as  society  adapts  to  the    new  demographic  landscape.  New  opportuni0es  arise  for  creators  and    consumers  of  all  ages,  though  benefits  are  oben  only  for  the  wealthy.      

   

Page 24: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Female  Choice  Dilemma  Women  in  richer  economies  have  greater  choice,  and  with  it  increased    

control  and  influence.  This  con0nues  to  drive  change  and  decision-­‐making    but  globally  the  baOle  for  female  equality  has  a  long  road  to  travel.  

   

Page 25: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Rise  of  the  Cult  of  China  As  China’s  economic  influence  on  the  world  increases  there  is  a  rise    in  the  cult  of  China  in  popular  imagina0ons  elsewhere.  Myths  of  both    hope  and  fear  will  proliferate  as  China’s  cultural  influence  increases.  

   

Page 26: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Africa  Growth  With  a  land  mass  bigger  than  India,  China,  the  US  and  Europe  combined,  few    doubt  the  scale  of  the  African  con0nent  and  its  resources.  However,  un0l    

recently,  only  some  have  seen  it  as  the  growth  market  that  it  is  fast  becoming.

Changing  Business  

Page 28: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

The  Value  of  Data  As  organisa0ons  try  to  retain  as  much  informa0on  about  their  customers  as    possible,  data  becomes  a  currency  with  a  value  and  a  price.  It  therefore  

requires  a  marketplace  where  anything  that  is  informa0on  is  represented.  

   

Page 29: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Rising  Cyber  Security  Greater  interconnec0vity  and  the  Internet  of  Things  creates  new    

vulnerabili0es  for  governments  and  corpora0ons  -­‐  as  the  unscrupulous  and    the  criminal  increasingly  seek  to  exploit  weakness  and  destroy  systems.  

   

Page 30: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Working  Longer    People  are  having  to  work  for  longer  to  support  longer  re0rements.    

Flexible  working  prac0ces  and  policies  are  emerging,  but  some    employers  con0nue  to  remain  ambivalent  about  older  workers.    

   

Page 31: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Skills  ConcentraUons    The  need  to  build  and  develop  capabili0es  becomes  increasingly  challenging  for  companies  and  workers  alike.  Those  who  benefit  from  the  high-­‐skill  reward  

opportuni0es  remain  a  select  group  who  move  ahead  of  the  urban  pack.  

   

Page 32: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Hollowing  Out  the  Professions  Technology  is  challenging  the  white-­‐collar  worker  and  automa0ng  both    middle  and  high-­‐end  jobs.  The  future  will  see  fewer  accountants,  lawyers    and  doctors  and  a  hollowing  out  of  the  previously  ‘safe’  professions.  

   

Page 33: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

The  Human  Touch  In  a  world  of  global  and  digital  marke0ng  and  consump0on,    

consumers  will  increasingly  favour  those  brands  that  can  offer  more    emo0onal  engagements,  and  specifically  human-­‐to-­‐human  contact.  

   

Page 34: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Deeper  CollaboraUon    Partnerships  shib  to  become  more  dynamic,  long-­‐term,  democra0sed,    

mul0-­‐party  collabora0ons.  Compe0tor  alliances  and  wider  public  par0cipa0on    drive  regulators  to  create  new  legal  frameworks  for  open,  empathe0c  collabora0on.  

   

Page 35: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Companies  with  Purpose    As  trust  in  ‘business’  declines,  structures  and  prac0ces  of  large  corpora0ons    are  under  scru0ny.  Businesses  come  under  greater  pressure  to  improve    

performance  on  environmental,  social  and  governance  issues.    

   

Page 36: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

The  Real  Sharing  Economy  Increasing  collabora0on  drives  organisa0ons  to  reconfigure  based  on  social    networks  and  impact.  Real  sharing  enterprises,  not  driven  by  profits,  seek  

to  share  resources,  knowledge,  and  decision-­‐making  responsibili0es.    

   

Page 37: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Dynamic  Pricing    The  algorithms  of  Amazon  and  Uber  cross  over  to  affect  more  businesses,    

from  energy  use  to  parking.  Real-­‐0me  transparency  allows  beOer  purchasing    at  the  same  0me  as  margins  and  yields  are  automa0cally  enhanced.  

   

Page 38: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Currencies  of  Meaning    New  trusted  currencies  of  exchange  and  meaning  emerge  to    

facilitate  transac0ons,  trade,  authen0ca0on  and  valida0on.  Money  is    complemented  by  new  systems  to  which  we  aOach  greater  significance.    

   

Page 39: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

ConUnuous  Proof  of  Loyalty  Brands  have  to  consistently  demonstrate  their  loyalty  to  consumers    

as  customer  mobility  and  switching  between  brands  increases.  Global,    regional  and  local  affilia0ons  blur  and  drive  wider  brand  consolida0on.  

   

Page 40: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

Speed  to  Scale    Greater  global  connec0vity,  growing  consumer  wealth  and  broader    reach  all  combine  to  accelerate  the  0me  to  1bn  customers  and  a    $10bn  valua0on  for  start-­‐ups  and  new  corporate  ventures  alike.    

   

Page 41: The Future of Business London - 10 06 16

OrganisaUon  3.0    New  forms  of  flaOer,  project-­‐based,  collabora0ve,  virtual,  informal    

organisa0ons  dominate  -­‐  enabled  by  technology  and  a  mobile  workforce.    As  such  the  nature  of  work  and  the  role  of  the  organisa0on  blurs.
