The three forecasters offer comprehensive insights across six pivotal areas: technology, retail and marketing, the economy, the natural world, diplomacy, and society.
Drawing from their authoritative annual 'State We're In' briefings, this book outlines more than 80 key trends that are shaping the world and influencing its future trajectory.
"It's an executive summary of where the world is and where it's going."

Chang says that their book takes a global perspective while anchoring its insights in the South African/African context.
According to Chang, we are currently witnessing the demise of traditional ideas and the emergence of new paradigms, particularly in corporate structures, where management of people and hierarchies have become increasingly fluid.
"We're fundamentally seeing a breakdown of what we knew or grew up with in the 20th century and in the 21st century we're seeing a fast breakdown of all of those things.
