5. Convergence
Five converging forces – mobile,
social media, data, sensors and
location – are reshaping our
lives and will have profound
effects on each of us
individually, in the workplace
and in our society at large
during the coming decade.

11. Our customers tell us that
they want the latest
information at their finger-
tips (or in this case wrist), so
being able to send
predefined notifications and
updates in line with the
user’s role and require-
ments was our focus. This
can improve processes like
work-flow approval,
invoicing, etc

…by observing how emerging technologies
are being used by early adopters, there are
three main trends at work:
1. Augmenting humans with
technology – for example, an employee
with a wearable computing device
2. Machines replacing humans – for
example, a cognitive virtual assistant
acting as an automated customer
representative
3. Humans and machines working
alongside each other – for example, a
mobile robot working with a warehouse
employee to move many boxes
