As many of you know, over the past few months, I have voiced some concerns about the match between technology strategies, AMS (Association Management Systems) capabilities, and the need for CEOs to get engaged and own their organization’s technology strategies. You may recall my somewhat hyperbolic e-book, “The AMS as We Know it is Dead,” likening our AMS systems to the German word EierLegendeVollMicheSau, the fictional perfect farm animal, uniting the qualities of chickens (laying eggs), sheep (producing wool), cows (giving out milk) and pigs (can be turned into bacon).

The five predictions below are by Tom Koulopoulos from the Delphi Group. From Tom: -- "As a child, I couldn’t grasp the concept of gravity. If you drop an object from twice as high, it doesn’t take twice as long to reach the ground. It only takes 1.4 times as long. The reason is that the higher the object the more time it has to accelerate. (Yes, for those of you who did pay attention in physics class, I’m leaving out air resistance, distance from sea level, and terminal velocity.) The simplest analogy is to think of pulling onto a highway. When you accelerate from 0-105 KPH in ten seconds, you are actually covering more ground with each passing second." So what does this have to do with the future? Well, the future has its own form of gravity that pulls us to it faster and faster, it’s called technology, and we simply cannot project technology change at the same rate going forward as it has occurred in the past.
