What does the future hold for the key global industries that depend on the transportation of goods and people?
The Challenge
The nature of human labor is fundamentally transforming, and this changes the needs that all companies that support their labor, including their transportation needs.
A leading US automotive firm partnered with us to project the future demand for commercial vehicles across industries & geographies, and chart those industries’ changing dynamics in the coming decade and beyond.
Our Approach
To arrive at a differentiated and value-adding perspective on commercial transportation, we approached each of the key industries by exploring their underlying logics and how those logics drive natural progressions based on contextual changes.
This involved examining their underlying value drivers & dynamics, and the lived experiences of their workers, before jumping into an exercise projecting how these would change based on a comprehensive shifting contextual assessment.
The Key Insight
We learned that building and servicing communities is the key need driving demand for commercial transportation, and that that work is often invisible & underappreciated.
There is so much potential to enhance the productivity & experience manual workers, just waiting to be unleashed. That opportunity is rapidly coming to the fore, and construction is front and center.

We developed a clear future vision of 8 global industries, identified which were must-win, and how to win in their near & far futures
02.
