TODAY’S BIGGEST TRENDS—the mobile web, social media, gamification, real-time—have forced us to rewire the way we think about and run our businesses. Consumers are creating a new digital culture, shifting business landscapes onetweet at a time. New networks have created an ever- expanding “egosystem,” in which everyday people believe their lives deserve 24-hour broadcasts. But now, we need to decipher the significance of this behavior and understand where the social and mobile web are headed. At the heart of all of this, a new breed of consumer is emerging—and they’re changing the very foundation of business.
