The Future of Retail
As physical shopping around the world variously restarts post-lockdown, a number of organisations are, unsurprisingly, asking what the medium and long-term changes for the future of retail may be. While digital shifts are still at the fore for many, others are concerned about trends impacting retail from outside the sector as well as emerging consumer behaviours. Ahead of a forthcoming workshop, we have collated a number of future trends that have been proposed by several experts in recent months. This is on slideshare https://www.slideshare.net/futureagenda2/future-of-retail-emerging-trends-2020 If you would like to let us know which you think may have greatest impact –…

#VoiceForThePlanet
Today marks the 50th Earth Day. Wonderfully millions of people and organisations all over the world, are already taking positive action for the planet. But the truth is that this is insufficient, and we remain bang on track for catastrophic nature loss and climate change. We are winning battles but losing the war. And losing the war will mean hundreds of millions of all living creatures, including humans, dying. Strangely we know how to win this war – we must tackle climate change and restore nature. The path is straightforward. We just need to choose to do it. But doing…

Lasting Shifts in a Post Covid-19 Society
As organisations variously react to a global pandemic that had been widely anticipated by experts, questions are now being raised around which of the many changes to the fabric of our society might outlast the pandemic? Which existing global trends will be accelerated or slow down? What new trends might emerge? We have been asked to share some views. As part of the World in 2030 global open foresight programme, we offer this initial suggestion of twelve future shifts that could influence, or be impacted by, the significant shifts in societies and economies responding to the Covid-19 pandemic. World in…

The Future of Digital Education
The increasing integration of technology and online communication into everyday life is challenging what and how we learn. Some argue that the future of education technology is all about access, anywhere learning and collaboration. Others point to the need to equip students with better analytical skills and make coding a core part of the curriculum. Whatever your view it is clear that education systems must adapt to the new normal. But how? What will be the next generation classroom? What will be the skills requirements for future workers and the role of teachers in guiding the learning experience? Which organisations are…
