"Over the past few years, organizations have opened their electronic doors to partners, suppliers, and customers. At the same time, an influx of young, tech-savvy workers is having a tremendous impact on companies and their IT organizations. They enter the workforce with tremendous energy and new ideas, but lso with their own set of preferred tools and applications-from obile devices and laptops to social networking tools."
"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. Our mission is to identify and explore emerging opportunities related to big shifts that aren't yet on the senior management agenda, but ought to be. While we're focused on long-term trends and opportunities, we are equally focused on implications for near-term action, the day-to-day environment of executives."
