“The Next decade will be the Value Era- the refining & institutionalizing of
the concept of value. Value isn’t just money.
Its intellectual capital, ideas, innovation”.
Gordon Petrash, PWC- Intellectual Asset Management Practice

Automation
“Any job that depends
on routines – that can
be reduced to a set of
rules, or broken down
into a set of repeatable
steps – is at risk.”


Abundance
“In an age of
abundance, appealing
only to rational,
logical, and functional
needs is woefully
insufficient.”

“The future belongs to a very
different kind of person with a
very different kind of mind –
creators and empathizers,
pattern recognizers, and
meaning makers. These
people – artists, inventors,
designers, storytellers,
caregivers, consolers, big picture
thinkers – will now reap society’s
richest rewards and share its
greatest joys.” (Pink, 2006)
