Intelligence helps business decision-makers understand the future. And understanding the future includes understanding technologies that will shape it. During the second meeting of our series we will look behind the curtains of emerging tech.

To what extent can we trust what we see, read and hear about emerging technologies ? What key internal issues affect emerging technology fields ? What should we know about these internal dynamics to make better decisions ?

These are just some of the questions we will try to answer as our distinguished guests take a deep and critical dive into the world of blockchain and augmented reality (AR).

The Next Big Thing Meeting Series, Meeting Nr 1 – Zurich June 12

Swissintell returned to Zürich! With an event on 12 June, we started a new Zürich-based series of meetings titled “The Next Big Thing”. We will meet every three months to discuss how to identify, monitor, and respond to those trends that will shape or disrupt business in the decade ahead.

Swissintell Zurich

Our first meeting took place at the Hiltl Akademie above a famous Hiltl Restaurant. The meeting consisted of two parts. The first was led by Naully Nicolas, a digital tourism marketing consultant, book author and host of the Travelcast podcast. Speaking about emerging technologies, Naully gave the audience an opportunity to reflect and comment on the possible impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain-based solutions, 3D printing, 5G, and edge computing on business in Switzerland and beyond.

Swissintell Zurich

The second part included a short workshop that introduced the audience to the discipline of strategic foresight and the tools commonly used to support strategic anticipation. Led by Aleksandra Bielska, Swissintell’s Zürich Greater Area Manager, participants worked to identify the less obvious trends and dynamics of change that often remain unnoticed. The workshop sparked an enthusiastic discussion that continued over a glass of wine.
