Hi, welcome to the future.

Futurists and researchers on Deloitte Consulting’s Novel and Exponential Technologies (NExT) team, as part of our Office of the CTO, sense—and make sense of—emerging technologies that have the potential for widespread business impact. But even futurists don't have crystal balls. Instead, we ascribe to the notion that "the future is already here, albeit unevenly distributed." As such, we've built a wide-angle lens that helps us look globally, across all sectors and societies, to glimpse how pioneering leaders are building distinct facets of the future, today.

In other words, we’re here to find signal in the noise. We’ve been knee-deep in all things newfangled for long enough to separate the enduring innovations from the blips and fads. Expect to read the unexpected, the context-laden and pragmatic island in a sea of fluff.

Move onward with us.

Why subscribe?

Subscribe to rescue the insights of this newsletter from the abyss of your spam folder. Never miss an update, and over time, begin to see the patterns we see, which could help you and/ or your organization harness tailwinds and dodge headwinds.

At times, our insights will show up as short-form articles and opinions on what’s now, new, and next in emerging tech. Other times, they will be speculative fiction that imagine the future through the eyes of a character you can identify with. Along the way, we’ll also share videos, podcasts, and links to our groundbreaking reports that could turn the hazy, unrealized future into crystal-clear projections of possibilities.
