Going Niche, But Better Organized!

Today Christianity encompasses one-third of the world'spopulation and is the dominant religion in the most developedeconomies, but adherence is falling. Islam, dominant in some of theworld's rapidly growing economies which also have the highestpopulation growth rates, has increased rapidly to around 20 percentof the world's population and is likely to be the world's largestreligion by 2050. Hinduism is also likely to see growth, while long-standing restrictions on worship are being relaxed in Russia andChina, opening the way for increasing participation in religions.Even as some religions grow, fragmentation of beliefs and practicesis happening inside and outside religions, as increasing numbers ofpeople embrace niche movements within established religions,alternative religions and what may be termed pop spirituality.

Beyond religion, the number of beliefs-based organizations isgrowing rapidly around a diverse set of ideas and experiences, fromflat earth to animal rights. The relative shifts in power betweenreligions and new forms of organization will have a strong impact onvalues, behaviors and other ways in which we organize the worldaround us. These changes will become more transparent astechnological advances allow religions and niche groups to organizethemselves better using the internet, mobile communications andsocial networks.

Managing the tensions, passions and even violence created bybelief-based organizations will require leaders of governments,societies and businesses to address the increasing diversity ofsocieties, employees, customers, suppliers and stakeholders in alltypes of organization.

This trend report will help you and your organization explore:

-Will cooperation or conflict between religions be dominant inthe years ahead?

-What is our role as an organization in contributing tocooperative and tolerant relations?

-Why is this important? How do we effectively manage and supportthe diversity of beliefs among our staff, customers and broadernetworks?
