We normally look at the future as a logical extension of the past. Our surmises and conjectures are often based on incremental changes in technology. Then came the pandemic! With the tectonic impact of exponential and combinatorial events, the future could be a lot different from what we see from the drawing board today.

And this is not just engineering technology, but even biological sciences see these effects – the dramatic cost decline in human genome sequencing from the whopping US $10 Million in 2008 to around US $800 today. It also explains the need for organisations to constantly look inward and see potential disruptions much ahead of the curve down the road.
