In this episode, Francis is joined by Shara Evans, technological futurist, and founder and chief executive of Market Clarity. Founded in 2006, the award-winning technology analytics firm provides insight, intelligence and advice on all aspects of the telecom and emerging technologies markets. Named by Forbes as one of the ‘World’s Top 50 Female Futurists’ in March 2020, she was one of the few technology futurists featured in this list - and is a regular speaker and media commentator on technology issues. In this conversation, Shara reviews the latest technology trends making an impact, and considers how this can be harnessed in business;  shares her advice on what organisations should be doing to “think outside the box” and imagine the world to come; and discusses her future tech research which covers everything from smart cities and robots - to jobs of the future and space travel.
