Nothing dictates real secular change to enterprise operations more than financial pressures. We are rapidly arriving at a third major trigger that will lead to the evolution of many autonomous enterprises where leaders have no choice but to drag their operations out of the dark ages.
- Trigger 1: 1995—The internet drives globalization. The advent of the internet at the turn of the millennium drove the first major wave of globalization of business and operations.
- Trigger 2: 2008—The Great Recession brings about mass low-cost offshoring of IT. In 2008, the Great Recession drove a 15-year wave of tremendous offshoring growth based on using lower-cost labor to slash costs.
- Trigger 3: 2023—Inflation drives organizations to supplement or replace human labor with autonomous technologies. In 2023, wage inflation, recession, and people refusing to return to the office will drive a considerable wave of autonomous enterprises based on using technology to perform the tasks of humans to stay afloat.
