Future Forces 2023: the megatrends shaping digital economy businesses
20 July 2023
In considering the megatrends' impacts across different sectors, digital economy businesses-technology producers and e-commerce companies occupy a unique position, being major drivers of change in their own right as digital pacesetters.
Nevertheless, the megatrends at work will shape the operating environment of these businesses—both directly, and in how digital economy businesses can support other sectors in negotiating the megatrends.
Some key takeaways:
- Ongoing digitalisation is the paramount megatrend shaping the fortunes of digital economy businesses for the foreseeable future. Organisations in all industries are rapidly becoming digital-first narratives of the data economy.
- Leaders of digital economy firms also expect to struggle adapting to an evolving and aging workforce. Securing and retaining talent will require great flexibility to accommodate increasingly diverse work-regimes, benefits and other demands.
