20. Looking ahead
Mobile technology offers many benefits but I think the most important contribution that the industry I work in can provide is the power to allow people to communicate. Never has a global conversation been more important
Our priority is to understand the context in which we, and our customers operate in. both now and in the future
The Future Agenda programme, hosted by Vodafone, is an open foresight initiative designed to help us do this.
16 issues identified which we believe will impact the world in the next decade – ranging from trust and choice to connectivity, energy, waste, water and work
Experts and informed people from 4 continents brought together in workshops to challenge existing perceptions and think of different solutions to some of the big challenges we face
Over 50 workshops in 25 locations with inputs from people. Inputs from almost 200 countries via website
Results to be published in November this year
