The 2b AHEAD ThinkTank is entitled to be one of the most innovative think tanks of the German economy. Since already nine years, 300 CEOs, VPs Innovation, Brand Strategists, and Trend Researchers are designing a scenario of the life in ten years time in this InvitationOnly!-ThinkTank under my administration. We are discussing future trends and strategies for a variety of industries using specific conference and scenario techniques. Traditionally, the media interest is great: SPIEGEL as well as Handelsblatt, Wirtschaftswoche, FAZ, Financial Times Germany, and others broached the issue of the future scenario of the ThinkTank. The Future Congress is examining the strategically central questions of life, work, and consumption of the next ten years in two threads: Living & Technology: The Devaluation of Expertise? and Markets & Society: The End of Fordism? Background is the constantly decreasing information asymmetry of the society, which might shake present business models to the core. Are we experiencing the gradual fall of mass economy? How are brands and companies influenced? But also: How will we be living in 2020? How will we be working in 2020? How will we be shopping in 2020? How will we be travelling in 2020? But also social issues are being discussed: Who are the underdogs and the new poor? How Germany’s role in the world is changing? How does the new Generation 60-90 form our society? And how do we learn how to study anew? ... We will discuss these issues.
