Robert Moran is partner in the Brunswick Group and leads Brunswick Insight in the Americas. He frequently speaks and writes on market research and data-driven decision making, Fairfax, Virginia, USA

Rateocracy, a future in which everyone and everything has a rating, is quickly approaching. Today we rate people, products, restaurants and places in a fragmented way. But, there are strong commercial reasons for a peer-generated, numeric rating system that allows cross-comparison. How will Rateocracy evolve and what are its implications?

How will this impact corporations and organizations? What will life in the Rateocracy era feel like? Come explore these questions in a session built on the outline published in The Futurist and ResearchWorld magazines.

Highlights

Participants will leave this session with an understanding of:

  • Current rating systems, developments in this space, Rateocracy scenarios, and future implications.
