Global Tech Leaders

Objectives

• Identify the key global technology trends shaping future innovation
• Understand how these trends are expected to affect major industries
• Explore the strategic challenges and opportunities likely to emerge
• Build a forward-looking view of what success will require in a changing technology landscape

Methodology

This was a global qualitative study using 60-minute in-depth interviews with specialist technology leaders. Recruitment was carried out through executive networks, targeted outreach, and specialist sourcing, helping secure expert voices beyond standard panel approaches. RONIN managed the project end to end, from recruitment and scheduling through to execution, and provided transcripts for non-English interviews alongside audio files for client-led English interviews.

Challenge

The project required access to a highly specialised expert audience spread across multiple roles, sectors, and geographies. Balancing perspectives across academics, futurists, public sector technology leaders, and business decision-makers also required carefully managed recruitment and targeted sourcing.

How RONIN approached it

RONIN used a specialist recruitment model built around executive networks, targeted outreach, and multi-market sourcing to identify credible expert participants in key innovation hubs. This approach enabled the study to capture a balanced range of future-focused perspectives from respondents with direct relevance to technology strategy and innovation.

Results

The study provided a structured view of emerging technology trends and their likely impact across industries. By translating expert perspectives into a forward-looking evidence base, RONIN helped support clearer thinking around future innovation, strategic risks, and the opportunities likely to shape the next phase of technology leadership.
