Accelerated adoption of autonomous work systems as well as a reliance on data driven business models will continue. Workforces will need continued training and more robust support to thrive in the anticipated A.I. and machine learning environments. Business operations will implement more system based rules to build better resiliency and stability into their businesses.
3) Adaptation
The businesses that will thrive are those that are the most agile and demonstrate the ability to adapt to the disruptions presented by this new paradigm.

Meiomi Pinot Noir
A rich garnet color with a ruby edge, the wine opens to reveal lifted fruit aromas of bright strawberry and jammy fruit, mocha, and vanilla, along with toasty oak notes. Expressive boysenberry, blackberry, dark cherry, juicy strawberry, and toasty mocha flavors lend complexity and depth on the palate. The well-integrated oak provides structure and depth seldom seen in Pinot Noir.
