Technology & Digital

The rate of technological change and innovation is bringing remarkable changes to our world. Boundaries between traditional industries and technology ecosystems continue to blur.

We are now in the midst of the next technological wave with the rapid adoption of cloud software, big data, mobile devices, social media platforms and analytics. A key opportunity will be the creation of a sensor-based world where objects will easily connect to drive greater productivity, efficiency and trust. This new era will lead to a paradigm shift in automation at a pace never seen before. Technological evolution will force more social, economic and industrial activities to be fully digitised to remain relevant. The opportunities are huge given their ability to empower people and companies in shaping a common future, both socially and economically. Alongside new technologies, businesses will need courageous leaders to execute the potential of innovative new approaches. Equally, executives will need the confidence to build and adapt a culture that enables successful technology adoption, shifting leadership roles and changing skills profiles.
