1. 🤝 Human interaction becomes a luxury: In a world where digital interactions dominate, talking to a human will be synonymous with superior quality and personalized attention or authentic experience, as opposed to fast but robotic interactions. Customer experience will continue to strengthen as the key differentiator.
2. ⏭ The rise of hyper-specialized micro-businesses: Thanks to technological advances, ultra-specialized micro-businesses will become the norm. Their agility and cutting-edge expertise will enable them to respond quickly and efficiently to specific market needs.
3. 📙 The adoption of artificial intelligence and blockchains: AI and blockchain technologies, including cryptocurrencies, will continue to profoundly transform business processes. AI will automate complex tasks, improve decision-making through advanced data analysis, and optimize day-to-day operations. Blockchain technologies will offer greater transparency and security for financial transactions, quality tracking, provenance checks, product traceability and more. Together, these technologies will enable businesses to operate more efficiently, reliably and securely.
4. ♻ The rise of sustainable and ethical practices: Respect for our planet and people will not just be an option, but a must for businesses. One of the key levers in this transition will be the optimal use of renewable electricity, including solar power, which is booming, doubling approximately every three years. Integrating this abundant energy into business operations would contribute significantly to reducing their carbon footprint. There's still a long way to go on many other levels, but that's not the main topic here.
5. 👫 Authority as a guarantee of trust: In a world saturated with information, companies that establish their authority and expertise in their field will be perceived as reliable sources and will more easily attract the trust of customers and partners.
