Future Agenda is the world’s largest open foresight initiative. It collects data and information from a global network of experts and regional roundtables to look into the deep future  (5 – 20 years).  Even better the key results are open and free.

The ‘big trends’ are always fascinating and it is always the first stop for us if we are looking (and have a spare few hours to get sucked in!).

We were lucky enough to get involved with a project on the future of the automotive industry, researching and investigating the advances in technology and connected cars in the future.

The three #keytakeways for us were:

• More and more convergence between industries – connected / autonomous cars are x-ing automotive, financial services, retail, leisure, logistics, the list goes on… it is all about  #partneringforsuccess
• Ownership of data, connections etc are going to be the key battle-fields… plus ca change
• If you ever lose mobile signal in a city it is quite likely to be someone with a jammer on to bypass their telematics box!!!
