Once again this year, Fjordians from all corners of the world came together at Mobile world Congress, to share ideas and visions, look into the future, and catch up with new and old friends.
How can Smart Cities develop as an ecosystem where businesses, big and small, citizens and public institutions can play and use at the same level? This presentation is focusing on the creation of a urban ecosystem that acts as a fair and ethical market place for businesses and to make better use of the city public infrastructure by citizens and public institutions.
This concept was developed together with Paul Houghton and Jane Vita.

Software is changing the way traditional business operate. People now have smartphones in their pockets - a supercomputer that is 25,000 times more powerful and the minicomputers of the 1960s. This is changing people's behaviour and how people shop and use services. The organisational structure created in the 20th century cannot survive when new digital solution are being offered.

The hierarchical structure of these established companies assumes high coordination cost due to human activity. But when the coordination cost drops
The organisational structure that companies in the 20th century established was based on the fact that employees needed to do all the work. The coordination cost was high due to the effort and cost of employees, housing etc. Now we have software that can do this for use and the coordination cost drops to close-to-zero. Another thing is that things become free. Consider Flickr. Anybody can sign up and use the service for free. Only a fraction of the users get pro account and pay. How can Flickr make money on that? It turns out that services like this can.
Many businesses make money by giving things away. How can that possibly work? The music business has suffered severely with digital distribution of content. Should musicians put all their songs on YouTube? What is the future business model for music?
From artificial intelligence and augmented reality to multi-connected businesses and new mobility, the focus is on a wide variety of technology – but which trends have a lasting influence on digital transformation, in a post-COVID world? A Social Friendly Report.
In this update of his past presentations on Mobile Eating the World -- delivered most recently at The Guardian's Changing Media Summit -- a16z’s Benedict Evans takes us through how technology is universal through mobile. How mobile is not a subset of the internet anymore. And how mobile (and accompanying trends of cloud and AI) is also driving new productivity tools.
In fact, mobile -- which encompasses everything from drones to cars -- is everything.

The Biggest Artificial Intelligence Milestones Of The Decade So FarBernard Marr
We are only a few years into the '20s, but by any measure, it's been an eventful decade so far. It’s frequently been said that we’ve already seen five years’ worth of technology-driven change packed into the last 18 months, mostly out of necessity, since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. And artificial intelligence (AI) development certainly hasn’t lagged behind.
Back in 2019, in what seems like another lifetime, I had a stab at picking out what I thought were the most significant developments so far in the history of AI. With everything that has developed since then, I thought it would be a good idea to round up the biggest breakthroughs and most significant developments of the current decade.
Unsurprisingly, many of the biggest and most headline-grabbing developments have been in the area of healthcare. However, ongoing research has also pushed boundaries of what is possible with natural language processing and vehicle autonomy.
In the following pages, PSFK Labs has
summarized 10 trends related to wearable
technologies that sit under three larger
themes - Connected Intimacy, Tailored
Ecosystem and Co-Evolved Possibilities -
with the goal of helping people understand
the basic features, form and functions of
these devices and what they might replace.
To support this, PSFK has described each of
the themes and trends, along with three bestin-
class examples that show how these ideas
are manifesting within the marketplace and
provided relevant stats that convey potential
for growth. Additionally, each trend page
includes a list of experts who write about the
larger significance of these ideas
The 7 Biggest Technology Trends That Will Transform Telecoms In 2020Bernard Marr

Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2017 special report for SmartAirConDaniel Chun
SmartAirCon is a new IoT product strategy for Mobile Operators and MVNOs in the Asia region.
There is no doubt the hottest topic being debated in climate policy in 2017 is how the US Government had decided to leave the Paris Climate Accord - COP21 and what form of sustainable energy and technology innovations could really help various city administrators to reduce the use of electricity and to reduce the overall carbon footprint. At the 2016 GSMA Global Device Summit - MWCS16, our company’s Mr. Daniel Chun had presented how mobile operators and MVNOs could extend their market reach in controlling the home electronics and be involved in air conditioning around the world by way of introducing a new form of Smart IoT device that could enhance the user experience in monitoring and controlling the air-conditioners in homes and offices; and benefit from a new disruptive business model to reduce churn and to increase ARPU.

In the past few years, information technology has become increasingly personal and social and has made its presence very much felt. The emergence of wearable computing and other forms of empathic ‘things’ seems a logical further step: even more intimate, more human-oriented, and ubiquitous. There are more and more devices that count our steps, take our blood pressure or measure the indoor temperature, track our location or conversations.
We are witnessing a computer boom in terms of kinds, shapes and sizes – around, on or inside the body – that behave increasingly smart and link up more and more intuitively with man’s extremely personal and natural interface.
In the next decade Personal Computing will become really personal: inside, on and around the person with attention for the context of the individual. In this study we explore this development and present seven manifestations that can define the impact on business, such as the ‘quantified employee’ and the ‘body as the new password’
Industry 4.0 – Tech Trends Driving Innovation in ManufacturingBernard Marr
Industry is currently going through a period of change that has been labeled the fourth industrial revolution – or Industry 4.0. Previous industrial revolutions brought us machinery, electricity, and computers. This fourth industrial revolution is shaping up to be even more transformational than the previous ones as we move into the age of smart interconnected machines and intelligent automation.
The Augmented Analytics Reset In RetailBernard Marr
Retail has undergone a tremendous amount of turmoil in recent years. The Covid-19 pandemic has fundamentally altered the way consumers shop, with current global supply chain issues only adding to the chaos. Online retail has experienced a huge surge which has led to challenges around coping with scaling to meet customer demand and issues such as needing to process a vastly increased number of returns.
As we contemplate how to manage a tsunami of data, wearable devices are rendering technology invisible. Smaller, faster computers and microchips, tracking and measuring metrics in real-time are revolutionizing how we connect with the world.
Fashion-forward designs, developed to crunch and interpret the numbers faster than we are able to collect them, are analyzing biometrics through everything, from our eyewear to our underwear.
The wearable computing market is expected to hit $19 billion by 2018. And it’s no surprise that our co-evolution with technology is becoming the bridge between mobile communication and the Internet of Things.
Data’s ubiquity – whether push, pull or ambient – can be harnessed for efficiency, knowledge, and utility. This enables us to reframe the least renewable of all elements, time itself.
The Internet of Everything and The Quantified Self
By 2020, analysts predict that we’ll be digitally connected to everything around us. Microchips, sensors, and batteries are shifting devices from our desks, out of our hands and pockets, onto our bodies.
The ongoing capture and analysis of data enhances our self-knowledge, informing The Quantified Self, and drives The Internet of Everything, an evolving digital ecosystem. In the future objects will receive data and respond seamlessly ...the refrigerator that delivers a glass of water based on your hydration level; rooms that self-control their energy output based on who is in them; locks that open as you approach, and smart slippers that detect a fall.
In this shifting paradigm of the observer and the observed, traditional industry verticals, such as health telecommunications, automotive, and entertainment will merge into cross-functional, user-centric innovations.
Author Jeremy Rifkin describes this change as the powerful Third Industrial Revolution. People, machines and every aspect of our work and social lives are connected by big data, advanced analytics and predictive algorithms. If we stay on track, we are headed towards economies powering smarter cities, efficient business, streamlined manufacturing, and renewable energy sources. It began with the Internet and continues with the promise of our wearable future, realized by some of the following innovations.
Cannes 2016: Design Thinking for Health InnovationFjord
Fjord Design Directors Jonas Höglund and Thomas Müller launched the Accenture Interactive Cannes Lions presence with a hands on workshop at Lions Health: Design Thinking for Health Innovation.
Twelve months of research, 1000+ cups of coffee, and probably an entire forest worth of Post-its (don’t worry—we recycle). That’s what it took for us to compile our Trends 2017 report, which offers an in-depth look at the eight most important developments we believe will influence and impact design and innovation for business, government and society in the coming year.

Service Design Network SF: Learning in the Digital AgeFjord
Fjord and the Service Design Network SF hosted their kick-off 2014 event on "Learning in the Digital Age." This deck, presented by Karin Little (Executive Service Design Director) and Thomas Schneider (Design Director) gives an overview for how education is changing in a digital world.
To say it is difficult to see and do everything that CES has to offer is an understatement. In fact, the only easy part is consistently hitting 10,000+ steps on your tracker every day! But we were prepared, using our 2017 Fjord Trends as a guide, to uncover the most inspiring work and topics that will continue to evolve this coming year.
Every decision we make affects the way real people experience our products. We’ve all heard the rallying cry for user-centered design, but even those of us who ascribe to that ideal often fall back on our own biases and instincts when it comes to making decisions about how people experience our content and our services. Sadly, this often means we make decisions we think will be good for our "users"—that anonymous, faceless crowd—rather than actually trying to understand the perspectives, surroundings, capabilities, and disadvantages of the actual people who we are here to serve.

From Products to Services: A Service Design Crash CourseJamin Hegeman
This is a combination presentation and guide for a workshop I gave with Jared Cole at UX Week in August 2010. The content is largely the same as Service Design: An Interaction Design Perspective, except for the addition of the workshop slides.
Y&R Global Planning Director Sandy Thompson delves into the concept of "Living Brands" and details how today advertising should focus on moving brands from static entities to actively living and participating in the world around us. "When it comes to marketing I think we need to stand up and fight the comfort that we have built into the old in order to discover and build new ways of helping our client's brands connect and engage with the people who matter most - their consumers," she says.

Our annual Trends report is here, born from plenty of Post-it notes, more coffee than we care to mention, lots of healthy debate and quite a few laughs. Trends is always a labor of love, crowdsourced from Fjordians (all 1,000 of us) from around the world – from San Francisco to Berlin, Hong Kong to Johannesburg, Dubai to São Paulo and 22 other places in between.
This process results in the trends we expect to affect business, technology and design in the year ahead.

Our annual Trends report is always a team effort, and this year’s team was bigger and more diverse than ever. More than 1,000 Fjordians, plus (for the first time) 85 clients from five continents, inspired our report, each bringing their own individual perspectives and experiences to the table.
We first gathered insights in all forms—a mix of hastily-drawn thoughts on Post-it Notes, elegant (and not-so-elegant) illustrations, simple scribbles and some long-form copy, and even some musings over a cup of coffee. We then took those insights into workshops designed to hone the thinking and spot patterns—and tapped into some digital tools to help us gather evidence for our best ideas (because at Fjord, we’re all about blending the physical with the digital). The result? Seven Trends affecting business, technology and design in 2018.
Today, we see deep division across global populations on a broad range of issues, which is creating social and political anxiety. We’re also experiencing tension as a result of deep technological change that is altering the world we live in. There is no running from these forces. For the first time, we feel that there is just one meta theme for Trends in 2018: Tension.
In an increasingly competitive market, we believe that businesses will no longer be able to rely on external partners alone to drive innovation. By bringing design capabilities in-house, brands will have the ability to respond rapidly to a world changing around them, adapting constantly to remain fresh and bring relevant innovation to market – becoming what we call a ‘Living Business’.
Our ‘Design from Within’ report describes three distinct approaches businesses can take in order to design and innovate internally. Each approach shares common goals - such as creating a culture which inspires creativity, and enabling the business to scale ideas from the drawing board to the marketplace –but the models differ according to the extent of a company’s involvement in them.
What makes people LOVE a product or brand?
What sustains that love?
These are the questions Accenture Interactive and Fjord set out to answer when embarking on The Love Index study.
The Love Index 2016 is the first annual report that measures brands – and in particular, the services and experiences they offer – on a 10-point scale across five F.R.E.S.H. dimensions plotted on a pentagon
Un’analisi dei 10 trend digitali più significativi che trasformeranno il design, le organizzazioni e la società per l’anno appena iniziato condotta da Fjord, Design&Innovation unit di Accenture Interactive, nel rapporto annuale Fjord Trends 2016.
El informe Fjord Trends, que lleva nueve años publicándose ininterrumpidamente, persigue detectar y analizar los desarrollos tecnológicos, de diseño y de negocio que más influirán en nuestras vidas durante los doce próximos meses.
Now into its ninth year, Fjord’s annual Trends Report 2016 has arrived and, once again, we unveil what we believe to be the most significant technology and business developments emerging and describe how they will transform our world in the coming 12 months.
Our Trends Report is the result of months of research, discussions and debate, pooling the collective experience at Fjord and Accenture Interactive and distilled into ten core ideas.
We believe 2016 will be another defining year for digital and will bring even more transformation, disruption and delight to organizations and their audiences. In the report you can expect to discover more about big data etiquette, the rise of employee experience (EX) design, disappearing apps, the true power of wearables and nearables and much more.

2. MWC15
Once again Fjord was present at MWC,
meeting clients and checking out what is
new in the digital world.
The centre of gravity at the conference has
been moving away from mobile phones for a
few years now, and this year we saw a clear
trend in the wider ecosystem taking centre
stage in the form of wearables, hearables,
connected cars, and the likes. The
connected car space saw Ford launch their
MyFord app – a charging aid to drivers of
electric vehicles.
There was a new degree of maturity and
sophistication on the wearables scene.
Amongst many, Huawei launched
their first ever smartwatch made with a
sapphire display, and LG displayed their
‘superwatch’ LG Watch Urbane.
8. #FJORDBALL
This year we teamed up with our friends
from Accenture in Hall 2. The stand was
bursting with digital experiences, and one
of them was our connected fuss-ball
table. A group of designers in our
Helsinki studio teamed up to turn their
physical studio fuss-ball table into a
digital experience.
We brought the experience to Mobile
World Congress, serving as a real life
example of one of our Trends 2015:
Digital Disruption Goes Physical. By
spending less than €60 on an open
source electronics platform, some off-
the-shelf sensors and creating bespoke
code and visuals, #FjordBall was born. It
is a perfect example of how a physical
object can be made digital with very little
effort, money or expertise required.
9. #4YFN2015
4 Years From Now was a satellite
conference held alongside MWC. Devoted
to start-ups and future ideas, the
conference showcased some of the
brightest upcoming products and
services focused on innovation in the
mobile and digital world. The conference
hosted several keynote talks and
workshops.
Mark Curtis, Fjord’s Founder & Chief
Client Officer, gave a keynote talk on
‘Trends Impacting Design and Innovation
in 2015 to an engaged audience of
around 200 people in the Agora Banc
Sabadell Arena.
11. “MWC continues its journey away from “mobile” towards “digital” and
indeed Living Services. It is still telco dominated and this year there was
more than a hint that telcos are pushing harder to define their role in the
forthcoming eco-system. At 95,000 people attendance levels are very
high (remember it’s not open to the public like CES) - it was only 60,000
just three years ago. The US – maybe because of CES – feels under-
represented. Asia is there in force. Maybe the most significant thing this
year was the emergence of a credible off show fringe focused on start-
ups at 4YFN. I expect a lot more focus on innovation in this forum next
year”
Mark Curtis, founder and chief client officer
12. “The Chinese manufacturers have now graduated their products in
technology performance, and this year they were clearly closing in on
design. With the mobile phones lacking differentiation across
manufacturers, the big competition game has moved into the rest of the
ecosystem with wearables as the next battleground. Huawei and LG have
invested in product design to bridge the gap we saw last year between
fashion and smart watches. With hundreds of different wearables at the
show, we are starting to see segmentation emerge”
