3. Looking
Forwards
Organisa*ons
increasingly
want
to
iden*fy
and
understand
both
the
an*cipated
and
unexpected
changes
so
that
they
can
be
bePer
prepared
for
the
future.

4. Future
Agenda
The
Future
Agenda
is
the
world’s
largest
open
foresight
program
that
accesses
mul*ple
views
of
the
next
decade
from
around
the
world
so
all
can
be
bePer
informed
and
s*mulate
innova*on.

2020
From
the
2010
program,
50+
key
insights
on
the
next
decade
were
shared
widely
via
books
and
online
and
have
been
extensively
used
by
many
organisa*ons
around
the
world.
Several
relate
to
the
impact
of
digital.

7. The
Digital
World
in
2025
–
Some
Ini*al
Views

8. Ubiquitous
Data
Access
By
2020,
we
will
finally
be
connected
everywhere
-­‐
everything
that
can
benefit
from
a
network
connec*on
will
have
one
and
all
will
have
the
poten*al
to
access
more
informa*on.

9. All
DigiOzed
By
2020
all
the
world’s
informa*on
is
digi*zed,
storage
is
nearly
free
and
the
volume
of
data
in
the
world
is
doubling
monthly
–
we
can
all
instantly
access
the
21st
century
archive.

10. Dynamic
Pricing
Real-­‐*me
data
from
pervasive
smart
meters,
intelligent
infrastructures
and
ubiquitous
tracking
services
create
plaeorms
for
the
dynamic
pricing
of
resources,
access
and
travel
to
manage
demand.

11. Owning
Your
Digital
Shadow
Increasing
consumer
awareness
of
the
value
of
their
digital
footprints
drives
the
desire
for
greater
ownership
and
control
of
personal
data
-­‐
balancing
access
with
convenience
and
benefit.

12. PredicOve
AnalyOcs
The
mining
and
(re)combina*on
of
mul*ple
disparate
data
sources
to
model
and
analyze
current
and
historical
facts
enable
more
organisa*ons
to
predict
future
ac*ons
and
bePer
an*cipate
emergent
needs.

13. Cocktail
IdenOOes
The
need
to
differen*ate
between
real
and
virtual
disappears
-­‐
who
you
are
ceases
to
use
a
singular
iden*ty
as
we
concurrently
manage
and
share
mul*ple
iden*ty
poreolios.

14. Knowing
The
Unknown
By
2020
people
and
connected
objects
will
generate
40
trillion
gigabytes
of
data
that
will
have
an
impact
on
daily
life
in
one
way
or
another.
This
data
will
make
known
about
us
things
that
were
previously
unknown
or
unknowable.

15. Linkability
of
Open
Data
No
data
will
be
truly
anonymous:
Current
open
data
prac*ce
assumes
that
technology
will
be
not
be
able
to
relink
it
to
its
source.
This
is
not
the
case
and
so,
by
2025,
we
will
see
different
levels
of
de-­‐iden*fica*on.

16. Global
vs.
Local
Technology
is
by
its
very
nature
global
and
data
does
not
respect
na*onal
boundaries.
Can
na*on
states
con*nue
to
set
the
rules
or
will
tension
in
global
interoperability
drive
us
to
design
for
global
standards
but
with
localised
use?

17. Intelligent
Highways
Assisted
driving
and
driverless
cars
work
with
mesh
networks
and
ubiquitous
mobile
connec*ons
to
deliver
automated
highways
that
improve
safety,
increase
capacity
and
reduce
conges*on:
Cars
don’t
crash.

18. Data
Marketplaces
Data
is
a
currency,
it
has
a
value
and
a
price,
and
therefore
requires
a
market
place.
An
ecosystem
for
trading
data
is
emerging
-­‐
anything
that
is
informa*on
will
be
represented
in
new
data
marketplaces.

19. Skill
ConcentraOons
The
growth
of
the
nomadic
global
elite
ci*zenship
accelerates
the
concentra*on
of
the
high-­‐skill
/
high-­‐reward
opportuni*es
within
a
select
group
of
globally-­‐connected
ci*zens,
who
move
ahead
of
the
urban
pack.

20. Value
of
Data
There
is
a
huge
economic
incen*ve
to
generate
and
collect
data
from
whatever
sources
it
becomes
available.
As
more
data
from
more
things
becomes
available,
we
can
expect
to
see
a
data
‘land
grab’
by
organisa*ons.

21. Privacy
is
a
Public
Issue
The
public’s
percep*on
of
the
threats
to
privacy,
personal
freedom
and
autonomy
is
growing.
Privacy
has
already
emerged
beyond
a
niche,
specialist
concern
to
being
a
mainstream
public
issue.

22. Seamless
Ubiquitous
Payments
The
ability
to
‘transact
anywhere’
with
integrated,
sophis*cated
authen*ca*on
such
as
biometrics
increases:
More
contactless
technology
and
a
convergence
of
standards,
enable
global
informa*on
exchanges.

23. Data
Islands
Some
economies
seek
to
maintain
closed
or
parallel
networks,
independent
of
global
systems.
Different
approaches
from
the
standard
are
developed
for
major
popula*on
centres
and,
in
*me,
could
have
global
reach.

24. Digital
Engagement
Ci*es
are
using
digital
plaeorms
to
bePer
plan
for
the
future
and
encourage
public
engagement.
Using
new
technology
and
big
data
to
support
strategic
planning
of
a
city
can
help
improve
public
engagement
with
the
process.

25. Personalised
Diagnosis
Despite
concerns
about
privacy
and
ownership,
increased
access
to
personal
health
data
will
challenge
exis*ng
healthcare
models
focused
on
stereotypical
condi*ons.
In
the
future
expect
personalised
diagnosis
to
be
commonplace.

26. Personally
Curated
Data
‘Personally
curated’
sources
of
data
will
have
higher
value
simply
due
to
the
fact
that
they
will
represent
the
actual
wishes
and
desires
of
an
individual,
rather
than
the
presumed
wishes
and
desires
based
on
derived
data.

27. Paying
for
Privacy
We
do
not
currently
understand
the
value
of
our
data
or
how
it
is
being
used
and
so
are
giving
it
away.
In
the
future
we
might
be
willing
to
pay
more
for
our
privacy
than
the
data
we
share.

28. The
Rise
of
Machines
The
growth
in
the
intelligence
and
capabili;es
of
machines
presents
both
a
threat
and
an
opportunity:
Greater
AI
and
automa;on
free
up
;me,
but
also
threaten
jobs
-­‐
both
low
skilled
and
managerial
/
administra;ve
roles.

29. Living
in
Glass
Houses
If
we
get
it
right,
we
will
be
more
comfortable
to
metaphorically
‘live
in
a
glass
house’,
allowing
our
personal
informa;on
to
be
widely
accessible
in
return
for
the
understanding
that
this
enables
a
richer,
more
‘aFuned’
life
as
a
result.

30. Data/Human
Teaming
Faster
and
more
convenient
access
to
raw
and
sophis;cated
data
analysis,
through
mobile
and
wearable
technologies,
means
that
data-­‐enabled
decision
making
will
increasingly
become
the
norm
for
consumers
and
ci;zens.

31. Seamless
Data
Representa>on
Improvements
in
the
way
in
which
data
is
visualized
and
presented
leads
to
rising
consump;on
and
wider
use.
In
turn,
we
see
greater
efficiencies
and
benefits
for
individuals,
companies,
governments
and
society
as
a
whole.

32. Data
Impurity
As
more
decisions
are
made
with
reference
to
Big
Data
analysis
-­‐
the
ques;on
of
if
data
is
well
collected,
or
manipulated,
will
become
more
important.
‘Data
standards’
will
emerge
to
cope
with
growing
complexity
of
merging
data
sets.

33. Masters
of
Our
Data
In
2025
there
will
be
a
seamless
border
between
digital
and
real
where
the
digital
truth
becomes
the
real
truth.
We
should
increase
awareness
of
our
digital
shadow
becoming
‘masters
of
our
data’.

34. The
Composite
Consumer
Flexible
digital
iden;;es
allow
consumers
to
connect
with
each
other
even
as
they
connect
with
brands.
Loyal
rela;onships
will
be
made
not
just
with
individual
customers
but
also
with
families,
couples,
and
groups
of
friends.

35. Personal
Data
Store
Led
by
developments
in
authen;ca;on
systems,
new
personal
data
plaSorms
migrate
into
the
world
of
marke;ng.
These
lead
to
seamless
and
universally
accepted
creden;als
stores
that
share
data
with
mul;ple
brand
partners.

36. Low
Value
Payments
One
area
that
is
likely
to
see
significant
transforma;on
is
low
value
payments
-­‐
everyday,
high-­‐frequency
purchases
for
which
cash
is
used
(typically
sub
$10
transac;ons)
and
make-­‐up
the
bulk
of
cash
transac;ons
today.

37. Intelligent
Networks
Self-­‐aware,
self-­‐adap*ng,
intelligent
networks
will
be
able
to
understand
their
user’s
needs
and
automa*cally
act
to
deliver
the
best,
personalised
experience
at
a
substan*ally
reduced
cost.

38. Public
Data
Economically
connected
data
can
play
a
significant
role
that
will
benefit
not
only
private
commerce
but
also
na*onal
economies
and
their
ci*zens.
Analysis
can
provide
the
public
sector
with
a
new
world
of
performance
poten*al.

39. ProliferaOon
of
Currencies
People
will
increasingly
use
mul*ple
forms
of
currency
in
different
contexts:
alongside
na*onal
legal
tender,
we
will
see
more
local
and
crypto-­‐currencies
–
many
decoupled
from
exis*ng
systems.

40. Nothing
is
Lost
–
Nothing
is
Stolen
With
everything
a
node
in
the
network,
the
Internet
of
Things
transi*on
means
that
all
items
and
tagged
and
can
be
traced.
As
such
we
cease
to
worry
about
misplacing
items
and
can
see
the
end
to
burglary.

41. Self-­‐Organised
Learning
By
removing
adult
restric*ons
on
educa*on
and
providing
children
with
Internet
access
and
on-­‐line
support
and
encouragement,
children
are
able
to
self-­‐organise
and
learn.
