Q&A
JLA: What shape recovery do you envisage?
JB: Hockey stick
JLA: How can business rebuild confidence and rekindle ambition?
JB: True to the principles of 'creative destruction, businesses of every shape and size should now be re-assessing their model, products, customer profile and working practices - and make changes now in readiness for the upturn.
JLA: Which sectors are most likely to provide the engine for growth?
JB: Over the next 5-10 years growth will be driven by green technology, life science activities like nano-technology, healthcare and health management, and the media industry where the UK has world-class credentials.
JLA: What changes can we expect in management style?
JB: Successful companies will manage by consent and respect. Their ethos will match the values and aspirations of their people - with the most transparent enterprises the most likely to thrive.
JLA: How will our ways of doing business change?
JB: Connected technologies will soon enable organisations to move from pyramid to 'pancake' shape. By 2020 about 75% of white collar professionals will no longer commute to their office every day. By 2030 the very idea of a company will have changed - with no HQ, no CEO and very few fixed assets.
JLA: What impact might the new superpowers have on UK Plc?
JB: The next 20 years will see the biggest shift in the balance of economic power since the Industrial Revolution, with the rise of the middle class in Asia. In areas like industrial design, university education and environmental technologies, the UK could take advantage of the new mass market.
JLA: And what about demographic changes?
JB: An ageing population creates business opportunities in areas like mobility, self-improvement and other 'third age' products and services. At the same time the fastest-growing household is the single-person urban unit - bringing new needs in everything from housing and local services to product sizes and packaging.
