Summary

The 2020s will be defined by extraordinary political and social instability, environmental pressures, health crises, and other systemic risks. Consumers want the organizations they deal with to have their best interests at heart as well as a clear set of values that they put before profits. Trusted organizations will build unbreakable bonds with customers; attract the best, most dedicated talent; and create inimitable engagement models with partners and emerging technologies — all while minimizing risk. This report makes the concept of trust concrete, reveals how you can increase (or diminish) it, and recommends ways to build trust for everyone you serve: customers, employees, and partners.
