Wayne Hodgins discusses trends shaping the future including the rise of the right brain economy, abundance and the long tail effect, and the importance of design thinking. He argues businesses will need to differentiate by making offerings emotionally compelling. The future will favor right brain, collaborative, interdisciplinary skills like synthesis, storytelling and finding solutions through trial and error. Innovation will be key, not just replicating the past.
