“The future is not just somewhere we go – we create the future.”
“Things no longer change over a generation or a decade, but from year to year, even month to month, creating new arenas for disruptive ideas and innovation to emerge… Inevitably, this leads us to reconsider the future and our place within it.”
“Purpose is a parameter impacting our lives around the clock, and we now expect it from our work, our social encounters, and our personal lives, as well as from the brands we interact with.”
“It is time for fresh thinking and new models to drive more sustainable economic growth. Organisations and businesses already working with trends and scenario planning know that seeing the future in a new light is the only way to discover viable solutions and recognise untapped opportunities.”
“Our choices shape tomorrow’s world and as consumers we have the power to change outcomes by making better decisions today. In short: we vote with our purses”
