Doom and gloom dominated much of the lead up to the Brexit vote, and a rejection of the EU was seen by many as a rejection of globalisation. Leaving the EU will undo previous advances in public policy and international relations, but the UK could deepen its relations with countries in other parts of the world and open Britain to forge entirely new forms of progress in this domain. How Britain proceeds through Brexit and beyond could steer the world for the future of international trade, travel, and other sectors.
A Brexit would affect the global market substantially, and right now every sector of the market has more questions than answers. Shaping Tomorrow has compiled a list of forecasts categorized by sector in a single Gist report that is easy to read and reference for meetings. This Gist report will help decision makers consider the probable, plausible, and potential implications of a Brexit through a cross-sector analysis with a focus on multiple scenarios rather than one baseline prediction.
Some of the forecasts in the Gist reflect the doom and gloom of the anti-Brexit camp. However, Brexit also poses several opportunities, and every effort has been made to seek out forecasts for a more balanced future that may prove more positive in the long run after short term upheaval.
This Gist is longer than usual, 15 pages, due to the seriousness of the implications of Brexit and the breadth of industries researched. We provide an introduction to the topic and 9 of the most recognized options available to the British government going forward after the referendum. We have provided 166 of the most relevant Forecasts from Shaping Tomorrow’s system across 23 different sectors. These Forecasts are followed by 15 key questions which were also automatically extracted from articles around the web. Contents:
Shaping Tomorrow’s Gist reports provide a brief overview of the current and future status of each topic and are intended to help readers quickly and conveniently appraise the future of an issue. Each Gist report includes an introduction to the topic, an analysis, a literature review using our auto-extracted Forecasts, and strategic questions to help readers appraise the issue’s impact for their organisation. The Gists quickly and conveniently get every team member on the same page so that meetings may be conducted more efficiently and with deeper insight. The Gists then become a launching pad for organisations to develop their own scenarios, analysis, and strategy. To see a list of all of our publicly available Gist reports, click here.
