“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward.” – Steve Jobs
If you’re a CIO today managing a lot of change, how do you prepare for the unknown? Here’s where the next part of Jobs’ quote comes into play: “You have to ‘trust’ that somehow all the dots will connect in your future.” Of course, “trust” is not a strategy that the CIO can sell to the board. The good news is that trust is a little like luck – it comes to those who are prepared.

ADVANCED MATERIALS
[COMPUTE POWER, MEDICAL, AVIATION, CLOTHING, ETC.]
Materials science has been an important area that many people have ignored. But modern plastics, specialized automotive steel, and semiconductors are just three areas where it has been important. The influence will only expand as such technologies as graphene, carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles, and memory and self-healing materials affect energy storage, computer displays, enhanced chemicals and catalysts, consumer electronics, medicine, and many types of manufacturing.

[BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FIVE OR TEN THINGS WE DON’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT YET?]
Show whole list of McKinsey list + 5 other technologies that didn’t make the list (see below)Box 1. Other technologies on the radar
Some of the technologies that we reviewed, but which did not make our final list, are nonetheless interesting and worthy of consideration. Here we note two groups of these technologies.
Five technologies that nearly made our final list:.
.Next-generation nuclear (fission) has potential to disrupt the global energy mix but seems unlikely to create significant impact by 2025 given the time frames of current experiments and pilots..
.Fusion power also has massive potential, but it is even more speculative than next-generation nuclear fission in terms of both technological maturity and time frame..
.Carbon sequestration could have great impact on reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the atmosphere, but despite sustained R&D investment it may not become cost-effective and deployed at scale by 2025..
.Advanced water purification could benefit millions of people facing water shortages, but approaches with substantially better economics than currently known approaches may not be operating at scale by 2025..
.Quantum computing represents a potentially transformative alternative to digital computers, but the breadth of its applicability and impact remain unclear and the time frame for commercialization is uncertain.
