100 trillion dollars that is the market

100 trillion dollars that is the market size that you and I have available to us

the 100 trillion dollar number sounds

the 100 trillion dollar number sounds very dr. evil however that is the number

very dr. evil however that is the number

very dr. evil however that is the number that the World Economic Forum has

forecasted the value to be globally over the next 10 years for digital

the next 10 years for digital

the next 10 years for digital transformation across all industries

transformation across all industries

transformation across all industries just to understand the size and

just to understand the size and

just to understand the size and magnitude of that number let’s compare

magnitude of that number let’s compare

magnitude of that number let’s compare it to the United States GDP at a tiny 18

it to the United States GDP at a tiny 18

and the tools and resources for how to

and the tools and resources for how to build a proof of concept so first we

build a proof of concept so first we

build a proof of concept so first we need a framework the framework we’re
