8 Fastest Job Growth high-tech and ICT sectors in the United States, particularly new and young companies, these are the firms that create jobs at the fastest pace and are important drivers of economic growth. peak age for entrepreneurs is roughly between ages thirty-five and forty-five. This runs against the prevailing stereotype that entrepreneurs are, or should be, recent college grads or college dropouts. Instead, they are usually from a previous job in a big company or at an institution, such as a university, which helps explain the age distribution of entrepreneurs. - Path-Dependent Startup Hubs: Comparing Metropolitan Performance: High-Tech and ICT Startup Density, Dane Stangler, Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, September 2013 Youth Unemployment + In Canada, youth unemployment is double the national average at 14.1%, and 25%-30% of university educated millennials work at jobs for which they are overqualified (Intuit Canada, 2013). Approximately 1.2 million millennials consider opening their own business within the next year. Millennials are expected to occupy approximately 75% of the labour force by Unfavourable labour market conditions are fostering the desire amongst millennials to investigate entrepreneurship as a viable career option, and this climate is breeding a new global startup generation. Intuit s poll of more than 400 young entrepreneurs indicated that millennials are twice as likely to open up their own business when compared to the rest of Canadians. Overwhelmingly the motivation for becoming an entrepreneur among millennials has less to do with compensation than it does an individual s ability to control their own destiny. - The Startup Generation: Tackling Youth Unemployment, Alex Brown, Pivot Magazine, October 2013

9 Four Disruptive Trends (McKinsey & Company, 2015) 1. The Age of Urbanization - Emerging Markets Take the Lead: China, India, Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia, Turkey By 2015, 46 of the world s 200 top cities will be in China - Global economic shift from West to East - Growth of Consumer Class 2. Accelerating Technological Change - Adoption - Breakthroughs

10 Four Disruptive Trends (McKinsey & Company, 2015) 3. Challenges of an Aging World - Proportion of Elderly is Increasing - Global Life Expectancy is Increasing - Without Productivity Increases, GDP growth shrinks 4. North-South Global Trade Flows - Highly Connected Countries increase GDP growth - 500x increase in global online traffic 2000 to 2012

12 Top Five Disruptive Technologies

13 This means increasingly massive amounts of DATA

14

15 Make sense of all this data with DATA DRIVEN DESIGN and

16 VISUALIZATION Plasticity Creativity Imagination Ideas Gestalt Visualization

17 VISUALIZATION Plasticity ability to change Creativity capacity for forming something new Imagination not perceived through senses Ideas abstractions or mental images of an object Gestalt meaningful perception Visualization: process of forming meaningful mental images or abstract data in visual terms

18 WHY? To Communicate Purpose depends upon the Audience - Inform - Lobby - Persuade - Convince - Motivate - Advise - Explain - Explore

19 Visual Expression Infographic: an idea, story, or content to represent in pictorial form Graphics or Rendering: creative imaging differs from Data Driven Visualization: based upon data mining or analysis results or outcomes as evidence accurately substantiated by data - Logic of cause and effect (data fidelity) - Proof, verifiable method
