DELIVERING TOMORROW - Logistics 2050 - A Scenario Study

How does one shed light into the black box we call the future?

Today’s complex economic and political landscape renders accurate forecasts virtually impossible. In our volatile and connected world, traditional, linear forms of analysis have repeatedly proven wrong.

They, alone, simply aren’t enough to help us anticipate and prepare for change.

In the search for robust strategies, we need to widen our perspective, think in alternatives and consider different paths leading into different futures.

With this in mind, Deutsche Post DHL, the world’s leading mail and logistics Group, has prepared another issue of our pioneering “Delivering Tomorrow” series: namely, a scenario study on “Logistics 2050.”

This latest publication presents five far-ranging, at times even radical visions of life in the year 2050 and their implications for the logistics industry.

It is important to keep in mind, however, that none of these scenarios reflects our definite view of how the future will, in fact, develop.

But knowing our limits should not prevent us from stretching our imagination and considering what might transpire.
