Underneath the hyperbole, a shift like never before: the Shift Index Complete Reports

Over the last six months, I have posted a number of times on my experiences at the Deloitte Center for the Edge working on the Shift Index.

First it was the highly anticipated launch. Then it was the inaugural, US-based, macroeconomic report. Finally, just last month, the Center launched the industry-level report. Now in one blog post, I am including both reports in their entirety - powered by Scribd.

First, the 142-page macroeconomic report:

Then the industry-level report:

Deloitte Center for the Edge: The Shift Index reveals deep and disturbing trends across industries

Working at the Deloitte Center for the Edge in Silicon Valley on the Shift Index earlier this year was intellectually exhilarating. It was exhilarating because the learning was relentless and the rigor of the analysis to build the index was deep.

As testament to the relentless pursuit of new, meaningful ideas, today the Center released the next wave of the Shift Index. Everyone knows things have changed but what John Hagel, John Seely Brown, Lang Davison, Duleesha Kulasooriya, Glen Dong and the rest of the team at Deloitte have done is take these amorphous concepts, such as the 'new economy', and boil it down to digestible, measurable metrics wrapped up in a cohesive, logical story. Take the time to read the report. You will not regret it.

Taken from the Deloitte press release ....

"Now, the Center has released an industry-specific version of its Shift Index, which applies these performance-challenge data to nine key sectors. The new version of the Shift Index provides an introduction to the thought leadership, methodology and data that drives the index’s metrics.

Following that, a cross-sector analysis takes an insightful look at the differences—and commonalities—among each of the nine sectors.

Finally, a series of “deep dive” sector reports offer a clear, comprehensive and sustained view of the deep dynamics affecting each sector." Read More

no more cyclical measures - focus on the long-term ... the Deloitte Center for the Edge: Shift Index

After nearly six months of non-stop brainstorming, collaboration, and analytical exercises, our team at the Deloitte Center for the Edge launched the Shift Index: a new way to measure long-term trends in the digital economy.

John Hagel, our co-chairman, recently spoke about the index on CNBC. We also were featured in an article in the Harvard Business Review, the Harvard Business School blog and the Financial Times.

I will post a more substantive post, providing more of an overview of the content at a later time ... for now, take a perusal of some of these links. This has truly been rewarding and important challenge and hopefully will generate further debate and discussion on how to navigate the new world.
