The document discusses 10 challenges for a converging world based on lessons learned from the last decade of technological change. It begins with trivial questions to engage executives and then outlines 10 questions on topics like regulated consumer businesses, digital rights management, infrastructure standards, spectrum allocation, content monetization, and the nature of convergence. The document argues that predicting technology's future is difficult but certain trends around mobility, bandwidth demand, customer service, new content models, and global markets will shape the next decade.
The document discusses a music video created for the band Scart 12 & the Blur for their song "Spiracle" and how it both conforms to and challenges conventions of music videos. It uses techniques like matching editing, pace and a cinematic style while having little miming and no clear storyline. Feedback revealed audiences want to understand videos, so a narrative was added. New media like YouTube was used for research, and blogging and social media helped plan and evaluate the project.
This document discusses the opportunities and challenges presented by Web 2.0 and the growing data economy. It notes that new capabilities often change behavior in unpredictable ways. While opportunities exist to leverage "and" thinking over "or", issues include questions around security, standards, performance, licensing and more as data and systems become more distributed and interconnected. Predicting the future remains difficult.

The document discusses challenges facing management consulting firms, including balancing productivity, client service, staff retention, and profitability. It notes feedback from clients and graduating MBAs about consultant work and expectations changing. Key questions are raised about how consulting firms can adapt their services, capabilities, staffing, and delivery models to address these changing expectations and remain competitive.
The document discusses the future of consulting in 2010. It outlines three common concerns of growth, margins, and risk. It then analyzes the root causes, such as ideas not correlated to business value and slow reaction to emerging needs. Five issues for profitable growth are discussed like correlating advice to performance and appropriate firm size. The world in 2010 is predicted to have information everywhere but its validity uncertain. A manifesto for agile advisors prioritizes individuals, collaboration and responding to change. Three ideas for the next five years are solving continuous change management, working with new economic models, and building sustainability strategies.
The document discusses trends in the global management consulting industry and challenges it faces. It analyzes why companies use management consultants due to efficiency, experience, and expertise. It also covers trends like a demand for objectivity and willingness to underwrite outcomes. Finally, it outlines six major challenges for the future, such as rethinking business models, moving to outcome-based models, determining optimal firm size, ownership structure, career paths, and dealing with knowledge commoditization.
