Future companies will be smaller and more nimble.

The future will be determined in part by happenings that it is impossible to foresee; it will also be influenced by trends that are now existent and observable.

The best way to predict the future is to change it.

But any big change is more likely to result if there is a disruptive event such as new technologies or platforms that have a surprising effect on market share.

Every part of your business will change based on what I consider predictive analytics of the future.

Nobody knows the future with certainty. We can, however, identify ongoing patterns of change.

More of the same will just produce more of the same: less competitiveness, less growth, fewer jobs.

Some things never change - there will be another crisis, and its impact will be felt by the financial markets.

I predict 2016 will be a year of upheaval and realignment across the world. China's economy will continue to sputter. Commodity exporting countries will suffer. Europe's growth will remain flat-lined. The U.S. will plug along at under 3% growth.

Nobody wants a prediction that the future will be more or less like the present, even if that is, statistically speaking, an excellent prediction.
