As working professionals in the Information Age, we must strive to recognize and even anticipate emerging trends. Seizing upon those opportunities is possible when we choose to partner with change agents who share our vision and can work with us to transform our enterprises. We must reach beyond our teams or spheres of influence and work closely with the legal, regulatory, and ethical communities that study, measure, and moderate the impact of our technology and products on our respective fields. We need to plan and develop ourselves with a deep respect for the world that our products and services impact.

Wisdom is the reasoned synthesis and acute application of knowledge to life’s greater goals and meaning. It’s a gift and collective treasure that requires years if not generations of blood, sweat, and tears, trial and error, heroism and tragedy to be honed, survive judgment, and be passed along to new stewards. Wisdom travels from mother to son, father to daughter, teacher to pupil, from master to fellow to apprentice. It is sweetest when given freely and most bitter when taken for granted. We can’t put a price on this invisible commodity. We can only hope to repay those charitable enough to have shared it with us. Professor Anita Allen of UPENN imparts her own special wisdom in lectures on the fundamentals and nuances of privacy. We interviewed her for our book, Tomorrow’s Job’s Today, to learn about how the value of privacy is driving so much of concern around the technology at our fingertips.

A successful transformation necessitates a thoughtful assessment of the existing cultural, regulatory, operational landscape.

A planned yet flexible cadence covers essential bases and addresses the cultural needs of the business. We spoke to one of the industry's best change agents in digital transformation and marketing, Dux Raymond Sy of AvePoint in our new book, Tomorrow's Jobs Today.

The convergence of technology and the rule of law is expected to intensify over the coming years. It’s a paradigm shift that will force organizations of all sizes, private and public, across all verticals, to balance a world ripe with innovation with an evolving universe of risk and regulatory pressure. Employers and their workforces will be inclined to adapt to this dynamic new digital landscape in their personal and professional lives. Like every era before it, the individuals who lead the way will separate themselves from the pack by identifying, engaging in, and fostering the right opportunities wherever they reveal themselves. And one of those leaders is George Socha, Esq. a renowned industry thought leader who is the co-founder of the widely utilized Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), a framework outlining standards for the recovery and discovery of digital data. We interviewed him recently for our book, Tomorrow’s Jobs Today.

Did you know that we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day? Yet this is nothing compared to what we are about to create when IoT becomes normal in our daily lives. One of the experts in this book, Priya Keshav, says we are in the dawn of a “data tsunami,” and she breaks down how smart companies are already updating their data governance strategies – not only to comply with regulations but to monetize all that data, too.
