ETO Mesh of Possibilities 1

The 'ETO Mesh of Possibilities' is a comprehensive framework that represents technologies based on five key factors, highlighting their potential trends in the upcoming year. This framework considers factors such as profitability, adoptability, agility, community impact and macrocosmic sustainability. By analyzing the impact of technology on revenue streams, its ease of adoption in different markets, effectiveness in addressing current needs, socio-cultural and geopolitical implications and contribution towards larger sustainable goals, the ETO Mesh of Possibilities helps in understanding the future trajectory of technologies. It provides valuable insights into how technology can drive innovation and progress in various domains, and how it can be leveraged to achieve environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals efficiently.

3A Framework (Adept-Adapt-Adopt)
ETO Mesh of Possibilities

The 3A (Adept-Adapt-Adopt) Framework is a strategic approach that helps businesses gauge their technological capabilities and define their roadmap for future readiness in the ever-changing world. This framework recognizes that there is no one-size-fits-all strategy and encourages a tailored, unique approach to emerging technologies. By classifying megatrends into the three categories, it provides innovation leaders with valuable insights on how to tackle these trends within a specific timeframe, ranging from 12 to 48 months.

  • The Adept category focuses on scaling, achieving excellence, and becoming market leaders.
  • The Adapt category involves learning from the past, redefining go-to-market strategies and building proof-of-concepts and strengthening the ecosystem.
  • The Adopt category entails exploring, strategizing, and starting to build capability.
