"The Center for the Edge, part of Deloitte LLP, helps senior executives make sense of and profit from emerging opportunities on the edge of business and technology. What is created on the edge of the competitive landscape-in terms of technology, geography, demographics, markets-inevitably strikes at the very heart of a business.
