The State of Industry Series

Research that begins with a conversation.

A home for Ian Khan’s confirmed, live intelligence reports and post-conference research. Built from the questions senior leaders are asking in the sectors where technology meets consequential decisions.

The research practice

Not a distant view of industry.

Every year, Ian interviews more than five hundred senior leaders on camera: scientists, operators, founders, regulators, and investors. This program, The 500, is the engine behind The Futurist independent documentary series and the State of Industry Series.

When a report describes change in an industry, it is informed by conversations with people working through that change. The reports are intended as intelligence for executives—not a replacement for an organization’s own assessment of its choices.

Bring the question back to your organization.

Sector research provides context. The Future Readiness Score creates a focused view of the leadership team in front of you. Together, they can make a leadership offsite, board retreat, or strategy session more specific about what is known, what is assumed, and what needs a decision.
