How Andrew is building a better world
“In my experience, the harder it becomes to imagine the future, the more advantage there is for the few who are able to shape the future. This is something I’ve been helping consumer-facing clients with. At week-long hack events in Shanghai, Berlin, Los Angeles, London and Mumbai, we’ve been bringing together a diverse group of industry leaders, futurists, and EY professionals to imagine what the world of the future consumer might be like.
One aim is to challenge the ideas and preconceptions that have shaped the consumer and retail industries for decades, so we can help companies explore entirely new paradigms — and, importantly, understand where value will be created, and how they need to change.”
