There is often much confusion and debate with very little alignment on which disruptive technologies, channel business models, mega and internal channel trends will be the most relevant in the future to technology sales channels. Even inside the same company, most stakeholders have different opinions and even if there is consensus,  which of these trends are material to that specific company and industry.
