The driving force to success and growth.

"A better human experience. . . for a better business outcome." Sounds familiar, of course, to all who know OI Partners. But that mission forecasts what's coming in 2012 and the years to follow as trendspotters turn their lenses on the men and women at every level of the business structure.

Just as the economy, technology, regulation, and other 21st-century pressures take their toll on businesses, they challenge and change individuals and families as well. Career transition doesn't always happen on our own timetable. Ditto for austerity measures and downsizing.

With challenges like these—with more and more of them carried out via remote and virtual links—we have to stop and look at the fact that individuals and teams remain the driving force to move us to our success and growth. When the going gets tough, both employee and employer have to look at new ways of doing things. Here are some of the predictions for the year, from various arenas—and the good news is that some of them are, well, good news.
