Tech Trends 2013: Elements of post digital (Deloitte’s Annual Technology Trends)

Deloitte’s annual Technology Trends report examines the ever-evolving landscape of technology put to practical business use. Once again, we’ve selected 10 trends that we believe have the opportunity to impact business over the next 18 to 24 months.

This year’s theme, Elements of postdigital, looks more deeply into the five forces of postdigital enterprise that we introduced last year: analytics, mobile, social, cloud and cyber. As we have worked more deeply with these elements of postdigital, we’ve discovered that the formulae of these combined elements are likely to have the most significant impact on business.

Our 2013 trends are grouped into two categories:

Disruptors are opportunities that can create sustainable positive disruption in IT capabilities, business operations, and sometimes even business models.

CIO as the Postdigital Catalyst
Mobile Only (and beyond)
Social Reengineering by Design
Design as a Discipline
IPv6 (and this time we mean it)

Enablers are technologies in which many CIOs have already invested time and effort, but which warrant another look because of new developments or opportunities.
