Massive Megatrends Looming for 2018-2022 Reflect Fears of Business Extinction
Constellation approaches the 2018-2022 timeframe with a comprehensive point of view using a holistic set of planning assumptions. This report examines the political, economic, societal, technological, environmental and legislative (PESTEL) megatrends that cause business disruption and serve as the basis for Constellation's research across eight business themes. These PESTEL trends can be summarized as:
- Political (P) outlook reflects governments' quest to quell social unrest, not to resolve structural issues.
- Economic (E) trends show global optimism from regulatory relief.
- Societal (S) shifts showcase self-awareness and mass personalization at scale.
- Technological (T) forces reflect the impact of exponential technologies.
- Environmental (E) factors demonstrate societal shifts and sustainable business models.
- Legislative (L) trends reflect populace bipolarity.
Successfully navigating these trends will require executives to develop a strategy for dominating digital disruption in a world driven by artificial intelligence. Boardrooms must be cognizant of such changes in order to make the tough decisions required to thrive amid the disruption ahead and avoid business extinction events.
