Looking beyond the trends

LOOKING BEYOND THE TRENDS–Joel Orr of Cyon Research identified that fascination with new trends + ennui with old ones = shallow thinking. For example, the term “globalization” has been on the lips of most business and thought leaders for a few years. Been there, done that. But in reality we have only begun to fathom the impacts and implications. At Cyon’s annual “Conference on the Future of Engineering Software” (for which we created this mural), the focus was on deeper thinking, stronger networks, and better data for getting the big picture of the sea change we’re experiencing.
