 How are artificial intelligence, migration and education connected? How can boosting innovation, reducing inequality and combating corruption help us to achieve the sustainable development goals? In an increasingly complex world, these connections can be hard to see. Yet a systemic understanding of global issues is essential. The World Economic Forum developed strategic intelligence as a set of cutting-edge digital tools to explore, understand and anticipate the forces driving transformations around the world. At its heart are the Forum's transformation maps. They depict and analyse the interdependencies between a wide range of topics, illustrating how developments in one area can impact others. By drawing on the collective intelligence of the Forum's networks, transformation maps explain the factors driving change across industries, economies and global issues. For example, by disrupting every aspect of technology, the Fourth Industrial Revolution will have a profound impact on governance and affect the scale and character of conflict. That will test the traditional role of governments, even as they confront other challenges such as the ageing populations in advanced economies. Transformation maps cover more than 200 topics and are available in multiple languages. Each topic is defined by its key issues, the most strategic trends shaping that topic. Because we are not looking at topics in isolation, but instead at entire systems in transformation, we highlight how the issues depicted in one map are interdependent with other maps. The content is continuously updated by leading experts from the Forum's extensive network. It is supplemented by a machine-curated feed of the latest findings and analysis from top universities and research institutions and is enhanced by technologies used in machine learning, artificial intelligence and advanced network analytics. The platform also incorporates economic, social and political data, as well as time-lapse satellite imagery, allowing you to visualize trends in areas such as sea level rise, deforestation, global trade flows and the refugee crisis. Strategic intelligence is the world's economic Forum's most advanced knowledge resource you can use to navigate today's increasingly complex and interconnected world.
