How are these snapshots for a future in brand distribution?
“2025 retail rents will be like 2020 flight routes: back to the 1980s.” “The future is social commerce, digital market places are an interim hype, for brand industry’s e-com latecomers.” “In five years, an office workspace and business travel will be recruiting incentives.” “Grandpa tells me, his company used to pay him for sourcing travel to adventurous rural locations.”
If you think that’s outrageous, how did your 2020 forecasts from around this time last year pan out?
Let’s face it, we all failed spectacularly at forecasting, so nobody should claim to know now. But 1000 minds may create a pretty good understanding. Or did you see it coming that future restaurants past 2020 could look like this one in London?

Amazing on one hand and on the other hand probably the largest disruption mankind has ever seen…
The biggest challenge though is, how to take people on to this journey , where they are not only threathened by getting jobless, but fully meaningless…
This is a big dilemma…
A big disruption – yes, certainly. The biggest – no!! Remember how changes in ways of transportation has disrupted the world in the last centuries. From living in your small village and being able to walk to the neighboring village and back over using horses, wheels, steam, motors, planes, resulting in new horizons, new ideas and again new technologies – starting allover again. And there are more examples of technology changing the world. If I compare the shift from retail to online and the equilibrium which it will finally result in – no big deal. One just has to swim with the tide.
