In 2013, the political scientist Moisés Naím published The End of Power, in which he argued that because of the increase in mobility and technology and decrease in poverty, the power of institutions was diminishing.

Words hold implications and meanings that exist outside of their dictionary definitions. Although the words “team member” and “employee” can technically be synonymous, they have different meanings and feelings attached to them. The way that you discuss people and situations inherently affects how you and others approach and understand what you were talking about.

Significant modifications are on the horizon for digital commerce in retail and customer experience come 2024. The pace of tech shifts will intensify, businesses are set to defund legacy solutions, and attractive opportunities will surface as social and retail media players join forces. To stay ahead of the curve, digital leaders are experimenting with less risky initiatives and scaling back on outdated projects that no longer yield impactful results.

When true attempts at innovation fail, desperate attempts of pseudo-innovation take off, often demonstrated in pointless new product introductions and fake-hype. This is exactly what Apple did in the announcement of the release of the iPhone 14 last week, which is lacking any interesting innovation elements. This was perhaps even worse, as Apple attempted to feed on people’s fear element.
