10 Tech Trends Shaping the Future of Business
Ten shifts worth planning around, separated from the ones that will look silly in a year.
Every list like this is half forecast and half wishful thinking. What follows is the half we would bet money on, with the reasoning attached so you can disagree with the parts you know better than we do.
The ones that are already here
Work that used to need a specialist now needs a competent generalist and a good tool. That is not a prediction; it is the hiring data on this board. Roles that read “senior” three years ago now read “mid” with the same responsibilities and a shorter list of required tools.
The ones worth waiting on
