ABOUT US
FASTER & BETTER.
THIS IS HOW WE DO IT.
Taking Flight
Stephen Loynd spent years covering the global BPO industry. Over the course of the 2000s, the forces of globalization took center stage in the drama, even as the forces of exponential technological change suggested a future of intensifying disruption.
By the 2010s, it was clear we were moving into a new era. Over time, improving computing ability would continue to alter how we interact with enterprises via an array of devices offering increasingly immersive experiences. By 2019, it was time to launch TrendzOwl with the aim of helping organizations understand the paradigm shift we’re living through.
The 2020s will continue to see the emergence of increasingly world-aware, ambient computing. Someday we might even see a network of emergent, interlinked virtual spaces featuring new models of interaction. Either way, technology will continue to race ahead exponentially as globalization reinvents itself for a more chaotic geopolitical reality.
