The world seems more complex and uncertain every day — and the problems of the future are getting more urgent.
We’re already living through a global pandemic of unprecedented scale, and the next few years are critical to make the best decisions about climate, geopolitics, labor economies, and more to set in place the best possible future for most people, or at a minimum, the least damaging future for most people.
So how should we think about navigating the future?
How do we make strategic decisions in a time of constant change?

Solving human problems at scale
While emerging technology is often cited as a problem we face, it also offers tremendous opportunities to facilitate solving human problems at scale more efficiently than ever, while offering better human connectedness.

She surveys the ups and downs of the emerging technology and cultural trends landscape and demonstrates how the decisions companies make have far-reaching impact both to their bottom line — and to the future of human experience as a whole.

Welcome to life as a digital avatar
On one hand, there is no “online” and “offline” anymore. On the virtual hand: welcome to life as a digital avatar. Whether you’re offering a product for purchase, a travel destination, a healthcare service, an education, or just about anything else, what you’re really offering is an experience — and wherever it’s happening, your customers increasingly expect these experiences to be integrated, contextually relevant, and meaningful.
