Preparing for the future starts now
Preparing the future and being part of it start with 2 things :
One is to get full grasp of the World Global Vision for the next three decades and where the world leaders are heading.
The other one is to know what your business needs in order to survive the next three decades challenges, regulations and disruptions.
"Pour ce qui est de l'avenire, il ne s'agit pas de le prevoir, mais de le rendre possible." Antoine de Saint Exupéry - Citadelle, 1948.

I. The Global Vision for the next 30 years
Never before has humanity faced such a challenging outlook for
energy and the planet. This can be summed up in five words:
“more energy, less carbon dioxide”
- Shell energy scenarios to 2050 -
World population has more than doubled since 1950 and is set to increase by 40% by 2050. History has shown that as people become richer they use more energy. Population and GDP will grow strongly in non-OECD countries and China and India are just starting their journey on the energy ladder.
As global risks continue to build, business leaders are rallying behind a bold and urgent transformation agenda developed by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), a CEO-led organization of over 200 leading companies.
"For Vision 2050, it's time to transform."
"Vision 2050 is critical today for all businesses."
- World Business Council for Sustainable Development -
"Approximately $50 trillion in incremental investments is required by 2050 to transition the global economy to net-zero emissions and avert a climate catastrophe. Much of the emissions abatement pre-2030 will be driven by existing technologies (e.g. solar), but post-2030 abatement relies on breakthrough technologies, such as energy efficiency solutions, hydrogen-based fuels, bio-energy and carbon capture/utilization/storage solutions, among others. A prerequisite to the successful expansion and deployment in the 2030s is validation of these breakthrough technologies at commercial scale in the 2020s. Significant capital needs to be steered for the timely industrial decarbonization of hard to abate sectors and a global energy transition."

Technology is an important component of almost every job and every business today. No matter what industry we are in, the technology we use is developing rapidly.
To ensure a mid/long term sustainability of the business, it is too risky to pay no or a little attention to trends in technology. It's actually of a vital importance to stay current with technology.
Here are listed, in no particular order, the 15 most common and cross-industries disruptions that belong to coming tech-revolution.
15- Renewable Energy
14- Data Science
13- e-Learning
12- Software dev
11- Cloud computing
10- Cyber Security
9- Nano technology
8 - Robotics
7- Drones
6- Virtual Reality
5- Augmented Reality
4- Metaverse
3- Blockchain Tech
2- Internet of Things
1- Artificial Intelligence
In sum, it's no difference that any other Mission. We need to know with high precision the "Where" to go, so that the business can benefit from a global tailwind, or at the very least it avoids taking some unknown direction. We also need to stay up to date with the "What" can be leveraged in terms of knowledge and technology so we can stay in the game for as long as we can, and overtake the competition by being a first mover in strategic tools.
Knowing all those key directions and planning accordingly is only one half of the task.The most important one.
"Execution and Refining", being the complicated part, is the other half.
This would now give you a basic understanding on the reason why my career aspirations and knowledge profile are defined and built in such customized way.
