2021 Global Economic Outlook

Post-COVID behavior patterns will play a key role in shaping our future cities and workplaces. For example, municipalities seeking to join the race to become smart cities will need to adopt crowd analytics solutions. Similarly, in this transition toward an increasingly automation-dependent workforce, enterprises seeking to empower their labor force will need to provide new, innovative platforms for digital upskilling.

This webinar will cover the emerging growth opportunities in:
1. Digital Upskilling Shaping the Future of Work—Emerging Gen-Z and millennial dominance, a hyper-aging workforce, and rapid digitalization will increase reliance on digital upskilling.
2. Crowd Analytics—Increasing need to monitor, understand and manage consumer and commuter behavior across smart cities, retail, and transport will drive growth opportunities in crowd analytics.

The foundation of a successful data monetization model is identifying the right strategy, design, and architecture for building a compliant and secure data ecosystem and, most importantly, having the proper technological infrastructure to match the needs of the increasingly data-scourging world.
This webinar will cover the following key avenues of data monetization:
• Lights-out Operations: The manufacturing value chain is constantly evolving. Lights-out operations will disrupt the traditional manufacturing landscape with data analytics services, cloud service providers, subscription-based service providers, remote monitoring services, and connectivity hosts gaining prominence. Companies must position themselves to take advantage of this industry transition.

• Data Marketplaces: COVID-19 has dramatically changed consumer behavior and has sparked high demand for analytics to help brands validate or adjust existing engagement strategies. It has also accelerated numerous digital acceptance curves and evolved user perceptions. This reinforces the rapid adoption of external data and the growth of the data market via marketplaces.

Visualizing and articulating a possible future for an organization or company has always been vital to long-term success. Disruption of the global economy, industry, companies, and investments makes it difficult to prepare your company for the future. A solid, realistic vision and strategy will enable organizations to set long-term objectives and build a growth pipeline of innovative opportunities, leading to sustained, transformational growth. Though growth cultures are desirable, and most leaders claim to understand what they entail, they are hard to create and maintain. Why is it becoming increasingly difficult to grow? The reason, often, is that leaders don’t understand the growth imperatives that are strategic to their long-term success.
