I have the seen the Future and it is the integration of Macro and Micro Financials through Technology.... that's one part of the short term evolution of Technology on the CFO and Project Management lines on the broader lines on the scale of growth through Technology I see Growth and an absence of Predictive Risk Management and Risk Modeling which is needed for the defense of Individual, Family, Community and Societal needs to correctly plot the course of growth and development to safe harbors for Humanity and the needs on Jobs and Opportunities in an age of wide spread disruption and rapid displacement. We need to heed the calls for needs to more actively plan on Technology Risk in both Present AND Future Terms.
Most tools come with warnings from the past of positive and negative operating procedures... Technology less so....
We are in the Age of needs for Prudent Stewardship of Technology Development to map the lines on both Growth AND Prudent Risk Management. Unfortunately only growth seems to get the money here and that may cost many much more in broader Community and Societal Terms.
The integrated lines and the pace of innovation undoubtedly will walk us from the IoT (internet of things) to the FoW (Future of Work) to the AI (Artificial Intelligence) of things the greatest tools we have to work with for the success lines of Human needs which must not be lost on this path is the needs for the balance of both Growth and Risk Management.

In this Chapter Growth is leading all things but the danger I speak of is the Risk of a Failure to pre map the lines to Safe Harbors for Technology for if the future is not in any manner mapped we run the risk of charting ourselves into obsolescence:

Technology of itself is neither inherently good or bad, but it is driven by the will of the implementer of the Technology, Programmer of Software Designer to human needs which may range the human behavioral frontier from good to bad and as we often see what starts with good intents can also be used for less then positive points so it's time to begin to talk more in Communities at Local, Regional, State, Multi-State, National and Global points about the positive and negative lines to begin to map safe terrain for the road ahead. Innovation plays an important role but displacement and disruption also carry a moral duty to provide for those who are harmed in the transaction most evidently at the broad societal level of individual, family and community needs towards the future of work and not enough of us are focused on the lines of needs for Prudent Stewardship of Technology in development. We will be integrating these lines to help more on Entity and Policy lines in support of Individuals, Families and Communities as exploration of important themes for Humanity in this Technology Age of Rapid Innovation. As the balance of Growth and Risk Management are the composite of needs for the Economy and Financials for shareholders and stakeholders in the Economy.
