We must all agree that examining how societal change and human behaviour will affect business in the future is critical. That's because the information gathered can help us align our business strategies with the expected dynamics. However, this alignment has always been a big challenge, since most businesses don't get it right; i.e, it is difficult to determine exactly how the human behaviour will be in the next 10 or so years. Fortunately, De Jong was born for this very purpose. As a speaker, he believes that you can coin the right business strategies once you understand people's behaviour.
