"Several trends in wealth, education, agriculture, biosciences, healthcare and technology are merging in ways that create phenomenal opportunities to prosper and grow amid chaotic change. It’s a world that is green and wireless with one billion tweets per minute and a where a decaf skinny latte with a twist is organic and prescribed by a doctor. The successful organization, individual and community of tomorrow is flexible, creative and dwells as much in the virtual world as in the real
world."
