RBC Research: Preparing for Hyperdrive – Themes that will define our new future
RBC Wealth Management Research | Dec 7, 2021
Get ready for accelerated disruption. As we think forward to the future, progress will be faster than it has ever been and it will not be linear. Just as we did in our Landmark 2018 Imagine Report, in this thought leadership study we have taken a global, cross-sector approach to determining the themes that will define our new future.
Challenging our global research teams in their respective areas of expertise and coming together to share ideas in recent months, we identified five key themes investors and executives alike across all industries must collectively understand to prepare for the years ahead.
Themes that will define our new future
1. The Quest for Immortality – Biopharma breakthroughs, life science real estate, 5G, autos, consumer wellness, space exploration and more come together to increase life expectancy rates globally.
2. The Individual Revolution – Data monetization, blockchain, gene editing and an evolving gig economy put the individual front and center like never before.
3. Artificial Intelligence Activated – This is no longer a drill. The path is set for the latter stages of AI to be integrated into our global economy. Don’t be left behind.

4. Hybrid Living – Our physical and digital worlds are rapidly combining, suddenly becoming indistinguishable and the implications are radical.
5. The Great Balancing Act – An accelerating rate of change on multiple fronts has the potential to create unprecedented instability. Resources are constrained and as we make tremendous forward progress on global sustainability, we must always keep in mind the other side of the coin. Innovation will thrive and new tensions will arrive.
In conclusion, the five themes highlighted in this thought leadership study provide a glimpse into the future and the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. Life science, in particular, plays a significant role in the first theme, "The Quest for Immortality," as breakthroughs in biopharma and gene editing are increasing life expectancy rates globally. As we prepare for accelerated disruption, it is essential to collectively understand these themes and continue to learn more about the implications and potential opportunities they bring.
By staying ahead of the curve and embracing change, we can pave the way for a brighter future. This requires us to be open-minded and flexible in our approach to new technologies and ways of working, as well as actively seeking out knowledge and insights from a variety of sources. Only then can we truly harness the power of disruption to drive innovation and progress.
