Summary

The buzz: "Companies that view technology as a tool rather than an integrated part of a vastly different business future – risk their very survival" (SAP Executive Study). Welcome to the 4th industrial revolution. The economy is increasingly based on knowledge, creativity, and adaptability. Digital technologies are changing the world and challenging businesses. SAP researchers and futurists are studying the major trends to understand what today's digital transformation leader needs to start and what to stop, when to zig and when to zag, to ensure their company is relevant tomorrow. The experts speak. David Jonker, SAP: "Fortune's wheel never stands still–the highest point is therefore the most perilous" (Maria Edgeworth). Michael Rander, SAP: "You don't take a photograph, you make it" (Ansel Adams). Dan Wellers, SAP: "Living at risk is jumping off a cliff and building your wings on the way down" (Ray Bradbury).
