Using Data to Make Better Decisions
Data is becoming increasingly available and important for decision making. Beyond finding patterns and relationships, we can use data to help us detect anomalies.
Megacities and Complexity
Megacities, which are home to more than 10 million people, provide a unique set of risks and opportunities for companies and public institutions.
Energy, Prosperity, and Informed Discourse
Energy is a very complicated and sometimes controversial topic. To make conversations more productive, they should be held in the context of a commonly understood framework.
Logistics: Dependencies and Complexity
The logistics industry is directly affected by any shift that impacts the volume of goods moved around the world, requiring companies in this sector to be forward-looking, agile, and proactive.
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.
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.
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.
