Those very real trends translate into implications for the organization. From there, evident priorities emerge. The attached infographic helps make sense of this. It allows deeper thinking about how those trends impact the organization's purpose, people, processes, and profits. However, not all trends, implications, and priorities apply to every industry or company context. Use the framework to run your version.
