Factors like continuing globalisation, the development of technologies such as generative AI, quantum information science, augmented/virtual/mixed reality, robotics, blockchain, data science, the space economy and cryptoassets as well as the emerging gig economy and contingent worker paradigm, are all intersecting to disrupt traditional business models. The good news is that there are tremendously exciting opportunities for those prepared to take advantage of these changes.
