TOTAL TRANSPARENCY

• Openess becomes the new norm, as boundaries between public and private worlds are redrawn. Ethics and caring values are essential measures of a product or company's success and, with nowhere to hide from online exposure, trust goes hand in hand with transparency.

CONSCIOUS CONSUMPTION

• Personal satisfaction and sustainable living are finely balanced, as individuals take real responsibility for their shopping and consuming habits. Governments and corporations embrace this movement through education, empowerment and open discussion.

CLOUD CULTURE

• Digital reality broadens horizons as data and apps move to the ‘cloud’. Accessibility and open source enables new collaborations and communities – feeding our desire for instant information, true personal expression and genuine ‘real-time’ dialogue with companies.

GLOCALISATION

• ‘Think global act local’ takes on new importance as different business models are explored. Regional heritage and specialities become a valuable commodity and communities are formed based on shared values and lifestyles. Connectivity gives local flavours global reach.

STAYING AT HOME

• Home becomes the new ultimate destination. Connected to the global village, it is designed for flexibility and entertainment, personal wellbeing and retreat. Tradition and function are crucial – and with sophisticated technology at our fingertips, living gets so much simpler.

THE REAL THING

• Openess becomes the new norm, as boundaries between public and private worlds are redrawn. Ethics and caring values are essential measures of a product or company's success and, with nowhere to hide from online exposure, trust goes hand in hand with transparency.

PEOPLE PATCHWORK

• An ageing society, lower birthrates and active Baby Boomers who aren’t going to retire quietly add up to a huge shift in value sets. Trans-generational living and giving back to the community become more common – and may make us wiser, kinder and greener.

EMPOWERMENT TECHNOLOGY

• Technology brings empowerment. Controlling our lives in ways that were unimaginable, we love shopping, banking and chatting on the go. The next big leap will be personalised lifestyle content management systems. Real-time web curating will become a full-time job.

HEALTH INTELLIGENCE

• With rising concern and increasing information about obesity, stress and other lifestyle diseases, health management and personal wellbeing become even bigger business. Seeking holistic approaches, people take personal responsibility for their wellbeing.

HAPPINESS HUNTING

• Forget wealth, happiness is the new measure of success. With ‘good karma’ hunting viewed as a serious business proposition, governments, companies and individuals look beyond the balance sheet and start to explore how to make this society a happier place.
