7 Disruptions You Might Not See Coming

The seven disruptions examined in this podcast stem from a wide variety of backgrounds, and at face value, have little in common. Some are relatively “new” and some have been “brewing” for a while.

In this episode of the Gartner Futures Lab Podcast, host Marty Resnick sits down with Gartner Distinguished Vice President, Fellow, and co-lead of the Gartner Futures Lab, Daryl Plummer to talk about disruptions that have the potential to herald fundamental change. Fundamental shifts are more rare than simple technologically driven change. They can start small and grow to be quite pervasive. Some of these disruptions include:

•  Virtual reality replacing reality would fundamentally change work and collaboration experiences. 
• Graphene replacing silicon would fundamentally reshape the manufacturing and compute processes. 
• Digital humans supplementing humans will fundamentally shift skills and productivity.
