One always should be on the lookout for anomalous data. So it is with a survey of 550 industry executives from 11 countries, conducted by Osborne Clarke for The Economist Intelligence Unit. Note that executives in the digital business, energy and utility and financial services verticals say they believe “connectivity” will be less important in five years.
Conversely, professionals in real estate/infrastructure and transport/automotive industries believe connectivity will be more important in five years. So what to make of those results? Some argue that real estate and transport traditionally have been slower adopters of information technology.
Also, financial services and digital businesses have been early adopters.
The results might also indicate that, in some industries, connectivity itself is less an issue, while other elements of business success are viewed as more significant.
