New Trend Map from What’s Next

Trend Blend 2009+

Richard Watson from What's Next sent me his latest trend map before the holidays.What's What's Next? In there words:

What’s Next is a trends report offering clear, concise and non-sensationalist commentary on trends in society, business, science & technology, government and the environment. Each issue covers trends across twelve sectors and speculates about future risks and opportunities.

Per usual, it is insightful, well organized and chock full of controversy (is nuclear power really a red herring?). Check out more trend maps like this or read the current issue here....or get more information about Richard's new book, Future Files.
