In the face of these ever-changing realities the only way that we can get ahead of the curve is by learning to clearly articulate goals, watching and predicting trends.

Did you know that? Experts estimate that 80% of products that we use today will be obsolete in 3-5 years. 50% of all jobs for the next six years have not been created. 50 years ago it took a lifetime for technology to make a job irrelevant -- now it takes 2-3.
