In the years ahead, acceleration in the scope, scale, and economic impact of technology will usher in a new age of artificial intelligence, consumer gadgetry, instant communication, and boundless information while shaking up business in unimaginable ways.
McKinsey & Company - September 2014
At the same time, the shifting locus of economic activity and dynamism, to emerging markets and to cities within those markets, will give rise to a new class of global competitors.
Growth in emerging markets will occur in tandem with the rapid ageing of the world’s population—first in the West and later in the emerging markets themselves—that in turn will create a massive set of economic strains.

We envision a new sector of the economy which harnesses the power of private enterprise to create public benefit. This sector is comprised of a new type of corporation —the B Corporation — which is purpose-driven, and creates benefit for all stakeholders, not just shareholders. As members of this emerging sector and as entrepreneurs and investors in B Corporations,
We hold these truths to be self-evident: That we must be the change we seek in the world. That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered. That, through their products, practices and profits, businesses should aspire to do no harm and benefit all. To do so, requires that we act with the understanding that we are each dependent upon another and thus responsible for each other and future generations.
B Corporations - Declaration of Interdependence

Benefits Realisation and Stakeholders
Steve Robinson – June 2014 Project Magazine

Without ‘Enabling Changes’ there is no Benefits Realisation
Benefits Realisation Management – highly dependent on the capability maturity of other key disciplines:
Benefits Management - Dependencies
Business first to last – if the Business is not prepared to take and incorporate changes Benefits Realisation will not happen
Benefits Realisation performance impaired if not supported by organisation-wide change management
