This is the first of a series of articles regarding business, economic and behavioural trends that are happening at an unprecedented rate. All of the initial dozen trends are written up in the daily papers but they don't always include the actions needed and the market opportunties. Some maybe obvious for those that have been through a recession but then a reminder is always a good idea … let me know what you think….
