Throughout 2018 a series of 30 workshops were undertaken around the world exploring the key topic of the future value of data. Engaging with around 1000 experts in 25 countries, this major research project has looked at the key issues driving change for how we see data value and their implications for the next ten years - globally and locally.
This is the draft PPT summary of the research findings and will be followed up in the New Year with a detailed Future Agenda global synthesis report plus regional versions in multiple languages.
If you have any comments or questions on this summary, the research or its future use, please do not hesitate to get in touch with either tim.jones@futureagenda.org or caroline.dewing@futureagenda.org or via twitter @futureagenda and @thevalueofdata

Future of digital identity programme summary - 19 mar 2019 lrFuture Agenda
How we prove that we are who or what we say we are during digital transactions and interactions is set to become one of the defining features of the next stage of the human digital transformation. Today, we are living with early attempts to solve the problem that are no longer fit for purpose. At best, the multitude of different ways we login, confirm our identities, and establish trust in claims made during digital exchanges, has become profoundly inconvenient. At worst, they have left us in a connected world which is neither safe nor secure, and in which we seem to have completely lost control of our most personal information. The next generation solutions to the digital identity challenge could change all of this.
At the end of 2018, Future Agenda undertook a major project exploring the Future of Digital Identity. With the generous support of Mastercard, the Future Agenda team ran a series of expert workshops in different locations around the world that explored the key factors that are likely to shape the future of digital identity. The programme began with an initial perspective as a provocation. Participants in the workshops then gave us new, more fully formed, insights which were in turn explored further during one-to-one interviews with major stakeholders and thinkers in the space.
We are proud to launch this report of the findings of that work
We would like to extend our sincerest thanks to all of those who contributed to the programme.
As always, we consider our reports to be the start point for further conversations, and would welcome further input. If you would like to join the conversation, you can join our LinkedIn Group here.

The next generation solutions to the digital identity challenge could change all of this.
In the short term, new solutions are likely to move us towards the promise of a single Digital ID that allows us to simply, safely and securely navigate a connected world.
Looking further forward, the changes could be even more profound. The ways that we digitally manage, share and verify our personal information could well come to completely redefine the human digital experience. Current digital business models that seem immutable could collapse. Centres of digital power might shift radically. And the current personal data ‘land grab’ could be replaced by a new digital norm in which individuals can finally make meaningful claims to data ownership and control.
However, there are a number of potentially calamitous pitfalls to navigate along the way. Some of these could lead to whole new kinds of digital dystopia.

TRPC Senior Research Analyst Jonathan Gonzalez's presentation at the Global Digital Development Forum 2020 on strong regulatory foundations for effective crisis management
AI is now an important component of sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, public administration and transportation, and is helping to address major challenges such as ageing and climate change. However, there is currently a lack of transparency in algorithmic governance systems, and this is worsened when these algorithms are integrated into already opaque governance structures in our cities. Moreover, over the past decade, the propagation of sensors and data collection machines in so-called ‘smart cities’ by both the public and the private sectors has created democratic challenges around AI, surveillance capitalism, and protecting citizens’ digital rights to privacy and ownership.

Delivering value through data final ppt 2019Future Agenda
Delivering value through data - final report. Throughout 2018, Future Agenda canvassed the views of a wide range of 900 experts with different backgrounds and perspectives from around the world, to provide their insights on the future value of data. Supported by Facebook and many other organisations, we held 30 workshops across 24 countries in Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe. In them, we reviewed the data landscape across the globe, as it is now, and how experts think it will evolve over the next five to ten years.
The aim? To gain a better understanding of how perspectives and priorities differ across the world, and to use the diverse voices and viewpoints to help governments, organisations, and individuals to better understand what they need to do to realise data’s full potential.
We are not aware of any other exercise of this scale or scope. No other project we know of has carefully and methodically canvassed the views of such a wide range of experts from such a diverse range of backgrounds and geographical locations. The result, we hope, delivers a more comprehensive picture of the sheer variety of issues and views thrown up by a fast-evolving ‘data economy’ than can be found elsewhere. And, by providing this rich set of perspectives, we aim to help businesses and governments - to develop the policies, strategies, and innovations that realise the full potential of data (personal, social, economic, commercial), while addressing potential harms, both locally and globally.

Data as an Asset – A Top Risk?
The concept of data being accounted for as an 'asset' is increasingly considered to be a top future risk. The fifth of our 2030 digital workshops in collaboration with The Conference Board explored varied potential data risks (Many thanks to Ellen Hexter and Sara Murray for organising).
Rated top by 50 business leaders for future impact, and second for likely change, was a foresight that “organisations will be obliged to account for what data they own or access. As such they will be required to regularly report on their full data portfolio.” (See attached PDF)
Particular concerns were raised on; how organisations will best assign value to their data; how it will be treated as an asset; who will audit this; whether ownership will be transferred with use and how, if valued, data will be taxed.
Some felt that by 2030 there will be guidelines, standards and frameworks in place – other were less convinced. Most however agreed that many business models will change.

This report summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop. http://unglobalpulse.org/blog/improving-privacy-and-data-security-ict4d-projects
The seminar makes an approach to the concept of e-Readiness from the point of view of capacitation and digital literacy.
Different kinds or steps of digital literacy are presented and, then, the concept of e-Readiness is questioned, making it evolve towards the concept of e-Awareness.

The Big Data Industry1 2
Big Data receives a lot of press and attention—and rightly so. Big Data, the combination of
greater size and complexity of data with advanced analytics,3 has been effective in improving
national security, making marketing more effective, reducing credit risk, improving medical
research and facilitating urban planning. In leveraging easily observable characteristics and
events, Big Data combines information from diverse sources in new ways to create knowledge,
make better predictions or tailor services. Governments serve their citizens better, hospitals
are safer, firms extend credit to those previously excluded from the market, law enforcers catch
more criminals and nations are safer.
Yet Big Data (also known in academic circles as “data analytics”) has also been criticized as a
breach of privacy, as potentially discriminatory, as distorting the power relationship and as just
“creepy.”4 In generating large, complex data sets and using new predictions and generalizations,
firms making use of Big Data have targeted individuals for products they did not know they
needed, ignored citizens when repairing streets, informed friends and family that someone
is pregnant or engaged, and charged consumers more based on their computer type. Table 1
summarizes examples of the beneficial and questionable uses of Big Data and illustrates the

3 Both the size of the data set, due to the volume, variety and velocity of the data, as well as the advanced analytics, combine to
create Big Data. Key to definitions of Big Data are that the amount of data and the software used to analyze it have changed and
combine to support new insights and new uses. See also Ohm, P. “Fourth Amendment in a World without Privacy,” Mississippi.

Future of Off-Premise Dining - Emerging View.pdfFuture Agenda
From ‘dark kitchens’ to ubiquitous delivery brands and grocery on-demand, where, what and how we all eat is undergoing significant and rapid change.
In a collaborative project, put together in partnership with McCain, we have been looking out to 2030 to explore and define how Off-Premise Dining might further evolve, and which of the multiple current trends are likely to stick? The emerging view is a first step toward answering the question. It reflects the key insights gathered from interviews and in-depth workshops with key industry stakeholders in Europe, the Americas and Asia, as well as the Future Agenda database and synthesised desk research.
The fight for future market share is already well underway, and significant bets are being placed on a wide range of future opportunities; from health-focused vending machines, through increasingly sophisticated mobile apps, to personalisation of food flavours. With so many significant shifts taking place simultaneously across the entire off-premise dining value chain, there will inevitably be winners and losers. We hope our insights can serve as a jumping off point for further discussion as to where the winners might emerge.
As with all Future Agenda projects, the aim is to challenge assumptions, identify emerging trends, and build an informed assessment of the changes ahead and their implications for strategy, policy, innovation and action.
If you’d like to be involved and add your views into the mix please do get in touch james.alexander@futureagenda.org
As companies and governments around the world grapple with accommodating changes in the workplace, the workforce and the nature of work itself, we are pleased to be continuing our Future of Work foresight programme. Building on previous global research undertaken over the past few years, we are now looking in depth at six pivotal issues that have been prioritised as areas of major potential change. These are digital skills, soft skills, reinventing roles, the blurring of work, green jobs and digital productivity. Initially taking a European focus, with the support of Amazon, over the next couple of months a series of expert digital workshops are exploring the core shifts ahead and their implications for organisations and wider policy.
This PDF sets the scene for the dialogue both within the workshops and more widely. If you would like to be involved or have comments on the potential changes ahead, do let us know and we can accommodate. As always all discussions are under the Chatham House Rule and so there is no attribution and, as we progress with each area, we will be sharing a synthesis of all new insights and recommendations over the rest of the year.
Future of asthma care a global expert view - summary - august 2021Future Agenda
Future of Asthma Care in 2030
Often hidden by many, asthma is a set of chronic conditions that will, some believe, impact around 1bn of us by the end of the decade. It will see new diagnostics, new treatments as well as gain new social and economic perspectives in many nations. As part of a global Open Foresight programme to bring together an informed outlook for all to use, this is a draft synthesis based on dialogue with 100 experts worldwide. At a time when lung health is front of mind for many, this is an important topic for our future health.
We are keen to understand your view on this. What do you agree with, what is missing and what may need an alternative perspective? Please do share any comments and feedback to douglas.jones@futureagenda.org and we will include everything in the final report that will made available later this year.

To build a richer, deeper view, we would very much welcome your feedback – especially on which shifts may deliver most benefit in the next ten years, and what is missing that ought to be included in the mix.
The UK in 2030 - An expert informed view on some key trendsFuture Agenda
At a time when there is much speculation on what the next twelve months may bring, some are also looking ahead to prepare for the longer term. What will the UK be like in 2030 when the nation is post-Covid, post-Brexit and post-Johnson? Now that vaccines are being rolled out and the initial outline hard Brexit deal has been done, how will the UK fair over the decade – economically, socially and demographically? What changes are already locked-in and what is open to future variation? Based on numerous discussions with a wide range of experts across the UK in late 2020, this document explores some of the key potential trends for the next decade and highlights where the UK may be heading.
Having a well-defined future view is never easy – particularly in times of uncertainty. However, if we can differentiate between the certain, the probable and the possible we can build a clearer picture of the future which may help to challenge assumptions. Since 2010, Future Agenda has been using open foresight to explore decade-long trends with a high degree of accuracy. The World in 2020, written in 2010 for example, accurately anticipated a range of developments such as a global pandemic, the challenges around data privacy, the scaling up of electric and autonomous vehicles, the widespread use of drones and the building impact of solar energy. All of these were anticipated through extensive expert dialogue across multiple disciplines to curate an integrated, informed perspectives which can be accessed by everyone.
We used a similar approach to explore the pivotal shifts ahead for the UK. Following multiple expert discussions including academics, regional and central government, social and business leaders, as well as the military, this document summarises eight areas of alignment about UK 2030 but also highlights three fields where there is substantial difference of opinion.
Our conversations identified eight core areas where we can have confidence that changes will take place. These trends are:
1. A Changing Demographic Mix
2. Accelerating to Zero Carbon
3. Improved Digital Connectivity
4. Declining Economic Influence
5. More Devolved Power
6. Rising Inequality
7. Emphasis on the Local
8. UK Leadership
Future of retail - Five key future trends - 9 Dec 2020Future Agenda
Future of Retail – Five Key Trends
The pandemic has accelerated change across many sectors – and especially retail. More online, less physical and empty malls have been evident globally. So what about the next ten years? What changes will continue to accelerate, which will rebalance, and which new ones will emerge?
Based on extensive dialogue with retail, tech and city leaders globally, this new point of view brings together the major shifts in the mix collated under five key trends – Reemphasis on the Local, Identity Insights, Automated Retail, Continuous Interaction and Informed Consumers.
Now being used to stimulate new thinking, innovation and strategy development in multiple projects around the world, this is being shared to continue dialogue on changes and impact.
We welcome your views @futureagenda
The third programme has taken place during 2020, engaging more experts on the pivotal shifts via virtual workshops and wider community debate.Here are ten issues that will provide future challenge and opportunity.
E7 Not G7
As global GDP rises, the seven largest emerging economies (E7) have increasing economic power. The relative influence of the old G7 Western powers declines.
Data Sovereignty
Large-population emerging economies see the protection of their data as a national priority. Wider data sharing is restricted to within national borders.
The Race to Net Zero
Cities, countries and companies compete to set the standards for the planet.Fully reducing emissions is central for energy, health and economic targets.
Electric Aviation
As the pressure to decarbonise aviation builds and technology challenges are addressed, using electric planes for short / medium-haul flights gathers support.
The Stakeholder Society
The shift from maximising shareholder value to a stakeholder focus accelerates. Organisations’ purpose, action and performance measurement realign.
Migrating Diseases
Health systems struggle to address the impact of climate change. The increased spread of ‘old’ vector-borne diseases challenge nations for whom they are ‘new’.
Peak Soil
After water and air quality, attention shifts to soil. It impacts everything from food and health to conflict and migration. Action follows deeper understanding.
True Personalisation
Ubiquitous facial recognition and digital identity combine with wider AI adoption to enable the creation and delivery of truly individualised experiences.
Resilience by Design
Global supply chains evolve to be more flexible, shared regional supply webs. Competitors access shared, not proprietary, networks and systems.
Proof of Immunity
Public concerns about health security override worries about privacy. Governments integrate immunity and health data with national identities.

Future of work employability and digital skills nov 2020Future Agenda
Future of Work, Employability and Digital Skills
As the world of work changes, how will organisations, society and individuals adapt to ensure that the current and the next generation will be able to acquire the skills necessary for future jobs? Building on previous Future Agenda research that focussed on key policy areas primarily in the Asian market and, more recently, an updated outlook on the future of work and skills development developed in partnership with the University of Bristol, School of Management, we are very pleased to be starting a new phase of research. As well as an analysis of the future of work, this will specifically explore the shifting nature of employability and how and where digital skills will have impact.
Over the next few months, expert views from across Europe will be shared in order to develop a richer understanding of key issues and how they vary across different jurisdictions. As with all Future Agenda projects, the aim is to challenge assumptions, identify emerging trends and build an informed assessment of the changes ahead and their implications for policy and action.
If you would like to be involved and add your views into the mix, please get in touch.

The UK in 2030
In the midst of all the current uncertainty, many people are seeking greater clarity around how the future may unfold – both globally and locally. Therefore, as part of the World in 2030 project, we have curated a specific perspective on the UK in 2030.
As with all our Open Foresight projects, UK 2030 is built through dialogue with informed individuals holding alternative outlooks on how things may unfold. This PDF provides an initial collation of some of their views on what is certain, probable and possible. We will use it to initiate further period of consultation over the next month.
With this in mind we would very much welcome your thoughts – especially around the areas that you agree with, those you disagree with and your suggestions about what is missing. Your knowledge will add both richness and depth to this point of view. We will share an updated and more detailed summary before Christmas. The ambition is that this can then be used to both inform and challenge assumptions so we can all gain a clearer perspective on the future of the UK.

The world's most innovative cities past present future - oct 2020Future Agenda
Cities are where innovation happens, where most ideas form and economic growth largely stems. For centuries, the world’s most innovative cities have been acting as global catalysts for change, and will continue to do so. As more cities seek to have impact over the next decades, we need to better understand what drives success and so identify those that may have greatest lasting impact.
APPROACH – Getting Clarity
Future Agenda has been conducting multiple discussions around the world on the future of cities (www.futureofcities.city). Our aim is to explore the range of views about what makes one city more successful, more influential and more innovative than other, and also consider key related issues such as the future of work, health, trade, trust, transport and data.
In addition, we have applied a similar modelling technique to those applied to Innovation Leaders which, for twenty years, has identified the companies that have been the best and most sustained innovators, in order to assess what potentially makes one city more innovative than another. Exploring multiple criteria, we have highlighted some core global catalysts for change.
To accompany a speech at the WRLDCTY event, this presentation shares some of the salient insights: It profiles some of most innovative cities of the past, identifying the key elements that contributed to their success, highlights some of the pivotal cities having greatest impact today, and, lastly, suggests ten cities for future global innovation leadership.

While some regions gain from better water management, much of the world’s population increasingly depend on water moved from one river basin to another. New options are explored to achieve this economically and with reduced socio-environmental damage.
As part of the World in 2030 global open foresight project, this point of view shares some perspective on changes ahead.
With climate change, increasing urbanisation, growing contamination, higher water consumption, more intensive farming and rising industrial use in many economies all having significant and combined impact, as the global population approaches 10 billion, but the net amount of water on the planet stays constant, concerns over water stress have been building. With 70% of water used for agriculture, a quarter of humanity is now facing a looming water crisis. A broadening range of urban areas need multiple innovations to provide water to cities throughout the year.
Although better water management and the decreasing cost of desalination are having impact in some regions, in many others, and especially for fast-growing inland cities, the task of ensuring continued water access is mounting. Simply moving water from one river basin to another is not straightforward. It is fraught with technological, environmental, economic and socio-political challenge. There are however several developments underway to enable more effective long-distance movement of water – some focused on building new infrastructure at scale and others looking to imaginatively repurpose existing assets to help meet the inevitable future demand.

Future of hospital design initial perspective - sept 2020Future Agenda
Hospitals of the Future
In partnership with Mott MacDonald we are exploring how hospital design will change in the next decade. Building on insights gained from multiple healthcare expert workshops around the world, this is an initial perspective that share some key thoughts on how and where we may see most change. Starting with context on shifts in healthcare more generally, from slide 28 onwards it includes 22 proposals for future design focus. These range from hub and spoke ecosystems and post-Covid reconfiguration to more flexible spaces and the impact of digital theatres.
As part of a global Open Foresight programme, we are now sharing these views to gain feedback for inclusion in a more detailed point of view that will be published later in the year. If you would like to add in your opinions on which issues will be driving most change in hospitals of the future, we would welcome input either directly to us by email (tim.jones@futureagenda.rg) or via this short survey: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/J9S8SB6

Porous Organisations
Here is our latest 2030 foresight.
This time we focus on the challenges for the future of work. Increasing competition for talent forces organisations to open their doors to a growing number of independent workers. This makes it difficult to maintain corporate knowledge and becomes a challenge for business big and small. In a highly volatile and increasingly complex landscape, many must learn how to manage a seamless flow of knowledge and ideas so they can adapt to changing customer demands, ensure capabilities are maintained and keep the doors to innovation open. Looking ahead, it seems that only the wealthiest and most attractive organisations (in the main technology companies) will be able to retain the loyalty of their employees. For everyone else, building and preserving corporate know-how within increasingly porous organisational boundaries will become a priority. As ever your thoughts and provocations are very welcome.

New solid-state batteries offer safer, higher performance than existing options and become viable options for use across multiple sectors. Competitive pricing and proactive policymaking accelerate global uptake.
This foresight is part of the World in 2030 project exploring the key global shifts for the next decade - https://www.futureagenda.org/the-world-in-2030/
Battery development has become a priority area for a broadening range of companies in recent years. Significant investment is underway as a number of new technologies compete for fast-growing markets. Five years ago, we identified that energy storage was the missing piece of the renewables jigsaw: “If solved, it can enable truly distributed solar energy as well as accelerate the electrification of the transport industry.” Today, as economies focus on faster decarbonisation and increasing electrification, particularly in transportation, the speed of new battery development has become a central issue for many researchers, policy makers, investors and companies.
Why is this? If we can get significantly more energy from a lighter, more compact, but affordable battery then the implications are enormous. Not only will this accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles by extending their range and providing a cheap way to store renewable, particularly low cost solar, energy, but it will also release a host of new developments in other areas from wearable electronics to electric planes, drones and scooters.
Given the demand for high performing batteries is building, it is hardly surprising that there is as much focus today on creating the batteries of tomorrow as there was when the first rechargeable battery was invented 160 years ago: according to a USPTO search in the past decade or so over 200,000 battery related patents have been issued. The rush to deliver the next generation technology is bringing together a host of new partnerships and foremost in many discussions is the potential impact of solid-state batteries. Within the next decade these could become the catalysts for substantial and lasting change across many sectors.
Soil is fundamental, fragile and finite. It impacts everything from food and health to conflict and migration. Deeper understanding of its degradation raises the significance of soil to equal that of climate change and biodiversity loss.
We know that the quality of our soil is the key to the food we grow, the clothes we wear and the water we drink. It recycles nutrients, sequesters carbon, is fundamental to biodiversity, helps keep our ecosystems in balance and is an essential part of our general wellbeing. But, although soil represents the difference between survival and extinction for most terrestrial life, human activities have caused it harm leading to compaction, loss of structure, nutrient degradation, increasing salinity and denuding landscapes. Furthermore, the urgent need to preserve soil receives relatively little attention from governments. An unsung hero of our planet, it is fragile, infinitely important and finite. Why do we treat it with such disregard?
As part of the World in 2030 programme, this foresight explores the future of soil and the stresses ahead https://www.futureagenda.org/foresights/peaksoil/
Future of Retail
As physical shopping around the world variously restarts post-lockdown, a number of organisations are, unsurprisingly, asking what the medium and long-term changes for the future of retail may be. While digital shifts are still at the fore for many, others are concerned about trends impacting retail from outside the sector as well as emerging consumer behaviours.
Ahead of a forthcoming workshop, we have collated a number of future trends that have been proposed by several experts in recent months. If you would like to let us know which you think may have greatest impact - and why, as well as what other shifts are missing from the current view, we will update and share a more detailed perspective in the next few weeks.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

6. A Value for Data
The promises and possibilities of big data have led many organisations to
believe that ‘more is better’ - many have rushed to grab as much of it as
possible. However, understanding where its real value lies is, as yet, unclear.
7. Data Metaphors
The language used to describe the value of data is full of misleading metaphors.
Is it the new oil, a currency, like water or the periodic table? Data can be like all of
these, depending on context, as well as having unique qualities of it’s own.
8. How to Look at Value
Many agree we should take a more holistic view than simply considering the
economic value of data. But how should we deal with shared data, GDP, APRU
and ownership versus access? Would a multi-capital approach work?
9. Personal Data Value
Personal data can be volunteered, observed or inferred. It can be used in
different contexts. This makes attaching a precise value impossible. However
stolen personal data is traded on the dark web, so relative value can be agreed.
10. Machine Data
Most future data will come from M2M and the IoT but there is little consensus
on who owns this and how it should be valued. Many are proposing competing
approaches for different sectors - connected cars, smart cities and buildings.
11. A Data Value Chain
Some are advocating that we should also look at different types of data in
appropriate ways, recognising the increasing value of data as it progresses
through a value chain from creation to consumption and monetisation.

12. Trust vs Trustworthy, Truth and Transparency
Organisations aim to build, retain or drive trust in data use to support
brand loyalty. However this is increasingly about being ‘trustworthy’
which is focused on being credible, truthful and more transparent.
13. Ten Questions
The core issue of “what is the future value of data?” has many facets.
It is clear that there is not just one question to be address but multiple.
This project has explored what we see as ten pivotal questions.
1. Can we agree how to meaningfully value data in the future from an economic point of view?
2. Is it possible to achieve this across a broader view of social, societal and other contexts?
3. If data is shared does this increase or decrease its value?
4. Does value change with its ownership?
5. What makes one data set more valuable than another?
6. Do we see global collaborative alignment on the future of data or will it be fragmented?
7. Does greater privacy add to or detract from the value of an individual’s data?
8. Who should govern future data value and how?
9. Which, if any, companies are leading today, and who may in the future?
10. How will governments best use regulation to mange the changes in the next decade?
15. Digital Literacy
Having a better understanding of how data is acquired and used drives the data
economy. A more informed society increases public confidence while a shared
language for data overcomes misunderstanding and aids decision-making.
16. Informed Consent
Consent is ambiguous, misunderstood and increasingly impractical.
Rethinking our view of what consent is designed to achieve in key areas
drives a new approach - with an associated shift of responsibilities.
17. Data as an Asset
If data is considered to be an asset, then it is rigorously monitored
and organisations are obliged to account for what they own or access.
They are legally required to declare their data portfolio and are taxed on this.
18. Data Liability
Data is a liability and organisations are responsible for its safekeeping.
For some the costs and risks of securing data outweighs its benefits.
For others it creates opportunity for new business models and policies.
19. Data as a Capital
Data is added as a 7th capital in the multi-capital model that underpins
Integrated Reporting: If data is seen as distinct, then it may require
separate reporting by companies, regions and governments alike.

20. Data Marketplaces
Transparent, interactive, multi-dimensional data market places become a reality.
In addition to price and time, multi-party, sector-focused markets define and
trade data where value includes the context of customer, access and use.
21. Open vs Private Data
Momentum around open data grows across several sectors but is constrained
by competition, the privatisation of public data and increased security concerns.
This limits the potential of ‘data for good’ as well as wider sharing and use.
22. Biased, Poor and Fake Data
As we seek more accurate data to inform decisions, concern
about biased, poor and fake data grows. Cleaning and validating
data is an escalating social, political and commercial battleground.
23. Owners vs. Custodians
The debate about data ownership and access moves on to custodianship.
New governance models are developed to respond to this and the
responsibility of data holders evolves beyond safety, use and monetisation.
24. Ownership of Machine Data
In the absence of an agreed approach, debates on who has what rights to which
data build. Questions on title, possession, control and usage of data throughout
supply chains lead to sectors taking different views on sharing value.
25. Decentralization vs Centralization
Rising costs of cyber attacks lead many to invest in better data protection - but
there is little clarity around most effective approach. Debate on the benefit of
decentralization of data at global, regional and local levels continues.
26. Data Sovereignty
More governments push back against Big Tech to fight for control of data.
Limiting the flow of data is seen as protecting citizens rights and the economy
– so sharing is restricted to within specific (potentially overlapping) systems.
27. Data Localisation
Nations demand copies of all citizen and machine data in regional data centres.
Multiple government bodies and local companies gain access to previously
‘proprietary’ data that is increasingly difficult to monitor and monetise.
28. Governance, Government and Democracy
Rising concerns around the use of data access, mining and analysis to influence
public opinion lead to calls for better governance and accountability.
Policy makers seek a more joined-up approach to data regulation.
29. Global vs Regional vs Local Regulation
There is widespread ambition for global standards to manage data policies.
Few believe that self-regulation is an effective approach but, equally, there is no
consensus around which organisations are capable of stepping up to the task.
30. The Future of Privacy
There is a strong belief by some in the right to data privacy and to security.
However, many see that privacy is a contradictory and outdated concept.
Some argue that security is impossible without increased monitoring.
31. A Question of Ethics
As ethics scales within the digital mainstream, many struggle to define and
agree a universal, global cross-industry approach. Different sectors initially set
their own standards that eventually align around some common principles.
32. Organisational Responsibility
The management of data needs a 21st not a 17th century approach to business.
As digital becomes the norm for most organisations, clear accountability for
increasingly automated decisions is a growing source of differentiation.
34. Summary Implications
The report conclusion will bring together global and regional
implications with some potential actions that need to be taken.
It ends with questions for individuals, companies and governments.
