What will businesses need to do in order
to thrive in the next 40 years?
“Businesses will need a workforce that is curious, hard-working, and passionate paired with leadership that is proactive to market disruptions, inspirational, and accountable. Teams that are open to change and are willing to implement tough decisions for the greater good of the whole will prevail.”

“I believe one of the biggest change agents for businesses will be the environmental factor. It will force companies to become hyper-adaptive and receptive. It will shape the economy, create market demand and the opposite, it will affect geography of longterm decision-makers, and ultimately dictate where consumers and investors deploy resources. I think the next 40 years will be more transformative than the last 40 years.”

“In order to thrive in the next 40 years, businesses will need to adapt to the changing environment of their biggest assets – their people. It’s increasingly important to ensure your employees have the skills, education, and motivation to keep up with the sustained technological changes while balancing strong interpersonal connections with one another. Business leaders will need to continue to ask themselves, how can I make today better than yesterday, how can I get 1% better?”

“I think the key for business success over the next 40 years will be adaptability. As the current crisis shows, we have no way to truly know what to prepare for. Being able roll with the punches and take advantage of opportunities will characterize successful businesses in the future, as it has in the past.”

“To survive in the next 40 years, businesses must adapt to technology, workforce and identifying needs. Taxes and national debt will become less important to the economy as the Federal Reserve adapts to accommodating society.”

“Playing it safe is not safe in today’s constantly changing business environment. What you know can get in the way of what you don’t know. Successful people will be the disruptors who take the right risks and play where no one else is playing.”

“In 40 years, I see technologyaugmented workforces being the most impactful. Specifically, that businesses are going to have to tailor their product/service to a population which is drastically more comfortable with technology, and their internal processes to utilize the disruptive technologies that are coming out.”
