Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession, or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selectionprocess, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
