Emerging Opportunities

As the idea of work is changing for employees and other stakeholders in a business, a crucial opportunity has emerged for businesses to become more flexible and open – increasing efficiency and reducing inertia.

Technology

It goes without saying that technological evolution has fueled every major business revolution, from agrarian to industrial. But every major business shift was spurred on by innovations that were seemingly unpredictable, yet visible to those with keen foresight.
Currently, the ever-increasing overlap between consumer and enterprise technology is opening up a number of opportunities for businesses to evolve – and this continued overlap will only increase the pace of change. Exploiting these trends requires more than simply adopting new technologies. It requires forward-looking organizations to embrace change, mapping these trends to the strategic goals of the business.

Society

Social networks are fundamental to how people communicate with one another and with companies. Organizations that can embrace new technology, procesess, and attitudes stand to benefit greatly; from better-engaged customers to better-connected employee networks, businesses have a chance to leverage connectedness to achieve strategic goals.
Social tools are making relationships engaged and collaborative – among users, among employees, and between users and brands in every industry. How companies adopt these tools to evolve will set them apart.

Work

The way people work has changed dramatically, as new tools and technology challenge the traditional rules of how and when people can do their jobs. This new definition of work as a constant and collaborative function means that organizations have an opportunity to adapt in order to leverage a new ethos of the hyper-connected, “always-on” workforce.
