Innovative Future – Prospective Technological Pathways!

I am Ed Agbor a scholar-practitioner in the field of computer science and information technology having an academic background including a master’s degree in computer science with a concentration in Data Sciences; a bachelor degree in information technology with specification in Application Development as well as an Associate Degree in Programming. Career-wise, I am a Senior Data Analyst managing the enterprise data warehouse, creating reports, developing dashboards, and managing data integrations across different platforms.

This blog primarily focuses on discussions regarding the prospective pathways for advancements in information and digital technologies. Considerations would also be taking into the challenges and roadblocks as well as possible forces impacting or affecting the different technological trends. This takes consideration of the different pathways and trajectories into novel innovative ideas and potential innovations based on both the past and current trends. The objective of this blog is to publish content on technological innovations driven by the development of futuring skillsets through a leveraging of diverse approaches facilitated by guided domain experts using both formal methods of innovation and diffusion of innovation (CTU, 2021).

Futuring and Innovation

The project for creating this blog is initiated in fulfilling requirements for CS875 – Futuring and Innovation requirement during which different approaches and skillsets in innovation are explored. It is expedient to mention that innovation brings additional value to businesses and improves life by introducing different approaches to solving existing problems while futuring provides capabilities for predicting the future depending on current trends. Thus, I hope to put these together for the enhancement of capabilities in providing solutions to future problems based on the current trends.

Innovative Competitor and Market Landscape Changes

The evaluated print book market share for Amazon has risen up to above half of the market share with and Barnes & Noble’s just having one-fifth of the entire market share. The dominance of Amazon, in this market space has been consistent for over 14 years with Barnes & Nobles still hanging in there with a massive gap between the two. It is important to mention that after Barnes and Nobles did close 90 out of the 720 locations with the period of seven years, which also, resulted in locations becoming lacking of any bookstore, it appears prepared to call it quits (Pandey, 2018; Majed et al., 2018). Branes and Nobles existed way long even before Amazon made its footprint in the market in 1996, but now, amazon has grown its business and customer base presenting itself as a leader in the book retailing space review (Matousek, 2018; Pandey, 2018). Amazon strives in making the experience book purchasing customers have a...

Serendipity - Error - Exaptation - Inventions

Serendipity describes an unexpected or coincidental finding that proves to be beneficial and helpful outcome. An example of serendipity is the invention of the microwave ovens by the engineer and inventor Percy Spencer while working at the Raytheon Corporation as an engineer. It is expedient to mention that the engineer – Percy Spenser attempting to develop a radar-related research project with a new vacuum tube when he realized the melting of the candy bar within his pocket. He did tested it with popcorn (Krueger, 2010). Spencer had the realization of a melting candy bar inside his pocket during his experimentation. He then decided to have the popcorn placed inside the machine and the popping of the corn immediately open up a new innovative and revolutionary device (Bih, 2003; Zhang, 2017). Error inventions are generally discoveries or innovations that came to the limelight through an unintentional action. These often come as a result of a researcher or scientist making a huge mi...

Scenario Planning versus Traditional Forecasting

Scenario planning in its simplest terms is art of assuming the future and then making assumptions on the possible outcome of the assumed future. In other words, scenario planning entails the precise identification of a set of undetermined actualities or things that would have been actually experience with the expectation of their possible occurrence in the future of a business. Thus, businesses implement scenario planning for the enablement of decision-makers with the capabilities and platform of identifying a variation or scope of probable effect and the estimated magnitude, response evaluation and management of the different possibilities (Amer, 2013; Ali & Luther, 2020). It is expedient to mention that the application of this integrated approach to uncertainty management cuts across different industries in the estimation of cashflow, business performance, and risk mitigation strategy development. An example is making presumptions on the future events that might impactfully ...
