Seeing the Future
Who saw the forthcoming demise of free-to-air broadcast television? We did, way back in the 80's (even though we didn't say so until 2009!)
Did anyone else recognize that email was going to take over our lives? Or that information would overload our senses?
And who would've believed it possible to point a device at the sky, capture a piece of music, identify it and then own it in a matter of minutes? Like we imagined 30 years ago!
Who else viewed social networking as the next big thing in 2001? Or had a hunch that the pager was going to be superseded by a small compact device called a mobile phone?
And what about the future for mobile? The digital wallet? Near field 'tap-and-pay'? Or, the massive potential for Device Independence?
Who else designed a futuristic, personalized browser years before Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Safari? Or devised a system to increase a company's asset value if it could prove to a potential buyer that its entire contact network structure would remain intact after the sale?
How many others worked out a way to be at the top of a Google search from day 1 without using any SEO?
Will fresh vegetables be grown on specially reconfigured oil tankers in 10 years time?
And what if there was a way to dine at your favourite restaurant, then go to a movie, buy a jumbo bag of popcorn and a couple of snack bars, then jump into a cab, and on the way home, stop and grab some milk, bread and other products without ever having a wallet, credit card, mobile phone or any type of identification whatsoever? Oh, and did we mention that it won't require a biometric fingerprint or retina scan?
We recognized a long time ago that there's no avoiding the future - that it's a place we're all going to whether we like it, or not! And to know what it will look like, sound like, feel like, be like - is our specialization.
As a future-oriented think tank and creative ideas lab the RIG researches, analyses, considers and then devises real-world scenarios for clients who want to make it into the next decade and beyond.
Our role is to help clients identify and take advantage of future opportunities, today.

will be those that failed to imagine it."
