BizTechReports Q&A: Global Futurist James Canton, PhD Reveals Trends That Will Transform The Future

ROCKVILLE, Md. - Feb. 25, 2015 - PRLog -- Is your organization “future ready” — and what does the term “future-ready” really mean? Advances in technology — and the impact of technology on the way business is done — has triggered a fundamental transformation in the enterprise space over the past decade or so. But past technology-driven disruption pales by comparison to the radical changes that will emerge over the next couple of decades.

To discuss the challenges and opportunities facing organizations in the future, we were fortunate to speak with James Canton, PhD, a renowned global futurist and top advisor to the Global Fortune 1000. Dr. Canton is CEO and Chairman of the Institute for Global Futures, a think tank he founded in 1990 that advises business and government — he has advised three White House Administrations and over 100 companies. In his new book, “Future Smart: Managing the Game-Changing Trends That Will Transform Your World”, Dr. Canton discusses the results of a five-year global forecasting study on the most urgent trends that will impact business, society, and individuals over the next two decades.

A former Apple Computer executive and high tech entrepreneur, Dr. Canton has been insightfully forecasting the key trends and technologies that have shaped our world — The Economist recognizes him as one of the leading global futurists.

Dr. Canton’s theory is simple but radical: if you understand the emerging trends that will shape the future you will better manage the changes they bring, avoiding risk and creating profitable opportunities.

Dr. Canton also is the author of “The Extreme Future: The Top Trends That Will Reshape the World in the 21st Century” and “Technofutures: How Leading-Edge Innovations Will Transform Business in the 21st Century.” BTR caught up with Dr. Canton.
