• Megatrends – digitalisering og cybertrends
  Fremtiden rammer os alle! Relationen mellem aktører og stakeholders indenfor IR-området vil blive påvirket af en verden og et marked, hvor øget usikkerhed, forandrede digitale datastrømme, nye krav og forventninger samt behovet for scenarier kommer i højsædet. Data og information er i stigende grad blevet ustyrlige, og behovet for at kunne styre et anarkistisk data-flow kommer til at blive afgørende. Virksomheder vil blive vurderet i real time på parametre som spænder fra det faktuelle til det emotionelle. Og spørgsmålet bliver for alle aktører: Hvorfor skal jeg have tillid til dig?
