We have just passed the starting line of the largest era of emerging technology in history. Its perceived implications are overwhelming. As a reference point, we are where the Internet economy was in 1995. The difference is this is likely to be 4 times the size.  Think of 4 times the disruption we experienced in the early stages of the Internet economy.  I hope everyone has learned not to throw money at every wild idea that comes along like they did in 2000 and 2001.  There are now 16 high velocity emerging technologies with a combined projected market of nearly $20 trillion.

Multi-factor analysis example: One core business process that I examined has a sizable impact by 7 of the 16 emerging technologies!

This is like to drive the complexity of our program and projects higher.  It should also be noted that little if any experience currently exists with the emerging technologies - PMs or otherwise!

@ Kevin No I was taken back by many aspects of this analysis. The overall size of the combined market, the multi technology application data was perhaps the biggest shocker

@ Vincent I hope to hit one at a time until done. I ran a poll to see what order of most interest would be - it was all about equal. Perhaps by alphabetical order.
