With the new year here, see what trends businesses are focused on for 2025.
There are differing opinions on what business trends to focus on in 2025. Some senior managers view shifts in technology as the top trend, while other executives are looking at possible economic disruptions (I.E. inflation, tariffs, etc.). Some cite the labor shortage (especially with tech workers) or mention climate effects but they did not rank as high on the list. And those challenges differ depending on the company, location, and management reviewing these trends. Overall, a recent survey’s results showed technology shifts as the leading trend to focus on for 2025 with political disruption trailing close behind.
On the tech side,, businesses are advised to regulate their AI policies. AI will of course continue to trend right at the of the top list when it comes to rapid advancements. But, at least for now - even AI’s initial hype does not match up to people’s expectations (think driver-less cars, etc.) . Nonetheless, businesses continue using it to streamline their operations and systems management.
Continuing with navigating and maintaining AI’s complexities, companies want data engineers who can scale up to match these complexities, while also staying up to speed on non-AI technology. There is also a need for AI leaders to maintain an ethical boundary when scaling AI. While people worry that artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence - so, companies are working on finding the balance between using both human and technology in excelling their business.
Daniel Kachab states that every company needs embrace AI and keep it as a core focus - considering it’s already used for compliance, data regulations and management, finance management, productivity increases, and idea generation. But, as previously mentioned, businesses will need to apply and rework AI policies to ensure AI’s handled responsibly.. It also will require better security supervision to contain cyber threats from reprogramming AI to provoke excessive and undetectable cyber-attacks (where hackers use AI against itself)..
According to Christian Stadler of Forbes, lobbying will play a part, since markets may move in the direction of companies that are more outspoken and want to keep pushing advancement in AI or other their other economic interests.
