Mike Walsh is a leading global authority on consumer innovation and the digital future

HE FUTURE IS NOW. All the traditional industries we grew up with are all in the T

process of being turned upside down and re-invented. At the heart of this revolution is not just a trans-formation in technology, but a shift in mindset. When every consumer on the planet is connected to each other - the network is more than just a business tool. It is an imagin-arium for bringing new ideas to life. After all, as interesting as it is when things change, the real magic happens when people do.

3. THE DIVERGENCEWhy the Future of The Web Will Be Like Nothing You Know Today

What we think of the Web today is only a fraction of its futurepotential. The Divergence marks the point where everything we know about the digital world will change. In the coming years, the emerging markets of China, India and Brazil will rapidly overtake the West not only in their rates of economic growth, but as the dominant commercial and cultural influences on the development of the Web. How we interact, transact and entertain ourselves in the future will be shaped by new forms of consumer behavior never seen this side of Silicon Valley. Forget everything you know about West Coast Web etiquette. Tomorrow's Web will be a milieu of competing cultures - simultaneously a source of conflict and also a wellspring of consumer innovation.

4. THE ENERWEBEnergy’s Networked Future

Information may be power, but power is also be information. Global environmental concerns are driving not only new investment in renewable energy but also the transformation of the analog power grid into a smart, digital network. What we think of today as a simple electricity outlet will soon become a node in a new networked ecosystem of appliances, applications, and consumer data. The rise of the Enerweb will attract both new kinds of players and encourage new forms of consumer behavior, forever changing the way we think about energy.

2. INNOVISIONBring Future Visions to Life

Innovision is a radically different approach to future thinking and scenario planning. The objective of the Innovision Workshop is to develop a shared view on the challenges and untapped opportunities facing the future timeline of the company and its stakeholders, and capture this in a compelling format for broader comm-unication. In a half day format, our unique process adapts lateral thinking and sophisticated narrative development techniques developed by creative professionals to develop entertainment products. The Workshop is structured into three parts, that loosely follow the structure of a three act film or play. During the discussion, the Tomorrow team will identify keywords and phrases that characterise the scenarios and use these to develop a visual storyboard, used to build the rough cut of the Innovision film presented at the end of the session. We believe that the Innovision process offers a number of benefits over and above a more traditional strategy workshop formats:

> A more engaging, dynamic and creative framework for collective brainstorming and scenario testing of future conflicts and opportunities

> Character based approach builds empathy with potential stakeholders and clearer identification of the implications of strategic tradeoffs

> The final result -  a five minute mini film - provides a powerful communication tool for wider distribution
