We like foresight thinking. We think about future scenarios. 

Just to mention some of our thoughts:

Disruptive technologies connected with changes of society and consumer behaviour have shown in the past that even experienced business leaders completely misjudged the growth potential or direction. How else can you explain the errors that today make people smile

Remember some of most popular ones:

"640 kB [of memory] ought to be enough for anybody"   (Bill Gates 1981)

Video [means TV] won't be able to hold any market it captures after the first six months. People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night   

Darryl F. Zanuck, Vice President 20th Century Fox  – 1946

"guitar groups are on the way out" and "groups of guitars were on the way out."

Decca Records rejecting the Beatles in 1962

But you don't have to go back far in history. Thinking about the German "transrapid" or the "MP3 Format" were also samples were inventors did not have the perspective of the product they created. A misjudgement of market potential - burying ideas that have the best times in the future.

Industry 4.0 and "The internet of things" as well as other buzzword are often not clearly described nor specified in the extent. Didn't we work on digitalisation already in the last 20 years? Electronic invoicing, self billing, EDI, Catalog buying, VMI, product availability monitoring and so on.... so what's really new? Or better: Where is that road heading to ?

Complexity Management - already hyped end of the 90's related to mass production topics still raises in our mind to few awareness in the supply chain scope. Complexity strategies from the past with shifting risks and complexity to other parties in the chain not fully reflects optimal situations for the entire chain

Additive manufacturing - or also called 3D printing is way more advanced than most think. The industry is about to produce cars, replacement parts for industry, health care and pharmaceuticals. Customized products, on demand, highly automatized will change the industry of the future, especially regarding tool makers and other supplying industry.

Supply Chain Management is well known - but very few companies have a comprehesive look at the whole supply chain and its involved parties. Financial flows in the supply chain can be optimized having a closer look at the balance of risks and interest rates of its players. Dynamic discounting solutions can help to make your Working Capital and Cash Conversion cycle to world class level.

Health Care is in major change. Individual care is progressing, supported by individual health tracking devices and supported with Artificial intelligence. Tracking of parameters with business intelligence across millions of persons, anonymized but with 24/7 tracking of real life, residual data can substancially improve research and therapy thanks to big data analytics.
