Technology and Continuous Reinvention
Computing, biotech, and other developments have the potential to drive dramatic step-function change to underlying economic and political systems.
Developing Economies: Winners, Losers, and Those Left Behind
This is an important time for developing economies, as the world continues to bifurcate between haves and have-nots. Some countries will seize upon new opportunities, while others could be utterly left behind.
Anticipating Effects at Scale
Our model allows us to quickly identify and evaluate unanticipated technological, socio-economic, and political developments that have the potential for system-wide effects.
Developed Economies and Wealth Concentration
Developed economies disproportionately benefit from globalization and emerging catalysts but also face potentially serious structural risks, presenting challenges for corporate and public sector executives.
Power, Energy Storage, and the Decentralization of the Grid
The economic viability of some forms of renewable energy will be enabled by effective grid storage technology, which facilitates the localization of energy production and consumption.
Infrastructure and Construction: Building for Generations
Public and private sector planners must accurately predict population density and infrastructure usage to ensure that they build systems to support populations 10-30+ years in the future.
Urbanization and the Mass Movement of People to Cities
More people live in cities now than at any other point in history, which is changing cities and forcing both companies and public institutions to adapt.
Regional Impacts in an Unbalanced World
The developed and developing worlds are impacted differently by change, with disproportionate costs and benefits accruing throughout the system.
Global Catalysts
Global catalysts are technological and socioeconomic forces that change the shape of the global economy, compelling companies and public entities to adapt.
