Today’s interview is with Rohit Bhargava, a trend curator, founder of the Non-Obvious Company, and the author of six best selling business books including the Wall Street Journal best seller Non-Obvious. Rohit joins me today to talk about his new book: Non Obvious Megatrends: How to See What Others Miss and Predict the Future, what he’s learnt about trends over the last ten years and what we should be focusing in the coming years if we want to improve the service and experience that we deliver.
This interview follows on from my recent interview – 2019 was the year of hype and snake oil when it came to chatbots. 2020 will be a year of pragmatism and real results – Interview with Abinash Tripathy of Helpshift – and is number 329 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders that are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees.
Here’s the highlights of my chat with Rohit:
