🦃 🌫️ 🙍🏼 Leading the trend, part two 👩🏽‍🎓 🤭 🍏

Hello everyone! Pavel Krasovsky, Deputy Director of the Center for Strategic Innovations at Rostelecom. I wrote about the importance of my own methodology for assessing promising technologies in a previous post , in short - we need to understand exactly what criteria are used to assess the importance and relevance of a particular trend. Third-party research is based on non-transparent methods, so "If you want to do well, do it yourself."

Methodology

The cornerstone of our methodology is the obvious fact that a huge amount of information has already accumulated on the path of human development, especially in the digital age. All this, from knowledge about the technologies of industrial revolutions of the last century to the freshest ideas, has already been digitized and carefully stored somewhere.

Moreover, it was important for us that for each stage of the trend development there was a source that we can trust, otherwise it puts an end to the entire methodology. We identified several sources that are self-organizing and self-updating systems, where it is beneficial for authors to post information:

Scientific environment.

Scientists researching a particular field are themselves interested in actively writing scientific articles. Here you can improve your own rating, and the citation index, and the position of significant magazines, and many other goodies.

Inventions and patents .

With patents in general, everything is simple: he was the first to patent something worthwhile - he was provided for until retirement. And all information about patents is public, because everyone wants to stake out a clearing.
