- Trend 10: Total Experience – Business strategy that integrates employee experience, customer experience, user experience, and multiexperience across multiple touchpoints to accelerate growth.
- Trend 11: Autonomic Systems – Self-managed physical or software systems that learn from their environments and dynamically modify their own algorithms in real time to optimise their behaviour in complex ecosystems.
- Trend 12: Generative AI – Learns about artefacts from data and generates innovative new creations that are similar to the original but do not repeat it.
