Designing the Metaverse

Creating your business model canvas, with a spotlight on design and fashion.The Metaverse is being built at the speed of thought. Are you thinking about how and where your brand should play, or indeed not play?Either way, what do you and your team need to consider as you decide to enter or stay away from this bourgeoning emerging market, mooted to be US$ 1.5trillion in a decade.In our second X-factor of 2022, we take a look at the smart ingredients of a business canvas, with a spotlight on design and fashion.The Metaverse is fast populating, with leading designer brands like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Zara, and Burberry seemingly as comfortable in the Metaverse as they are on a Fashion Week catwalk.But what are they creating? What are they wearing? Indeed, what should brands, products, and even people look like the Metaverse?Here’s what we notice.Digital fashion is not limited to clothing for avatars. It’s a growing fashion subculture that includes the digital design and modeling of real-world clothing.But most significantly, designs for both real and digital clothing & accessories are being captured on a blockchain. This way these digital assets can be ‘sold’ as NFTs or Non-fungible Tokens, creating a whole new possibility for value creation by way of ‘Collectibles’.Indeed, we are also seeing digital clothes rendered onto real people. And there’s an early school of thought suggesting digital fashion could one-day eclipse people’s needs for real, tangible clothes.Others are mooting that outfit repetition will become an outdated concern, since digital-only clothes exist solely for sartorial performance and self-expression, beyond the constraints of physical reality.Let’s unpack, unravel and explore.Join our global panel of Meta Shapers as they share their journey into the Metaverse.

PLAN FOR IMPACT: The Big Disconnect - From Purpose to Impact

Living a purpose-driven life and knowing your “why” have been goals that inspired us and brought fresh perspectives. The business world too embraced it as purpose statements replaced mission statements and brand followers rallied around a bigger purpose.
A good start.
But this decade demands more of us. We need to turn an inspiring “why” into powerful, change-making impacts that create a new story in the world, now.
Yet, this is where the big disconnect lies. Moving beyond buzzwords, how do we create something of tangible value in the world? How do we translate our awakening to purpose and weave it into our daily lives?
We’ve invited a few Impact Makers to come and share their stories about turning purpose into impact. While their journeys differ, they share a common theme: they all each started with an idea that asked “what if?”.
As Sir David Attenborough said in his COP26 address. “If working apart, we’re a force powerful enough to destabilize our planet, surely by working together, we’re a force powerful enough to save it.”
The time is now to become a force powerful enough to create real and lasting change. Turning purpose into powerful impact is how we’ll do it.
Join us to hear about actual case studies of people living their purpose, becoming an impactful force, and changing lives. Then, we invite you to get started on yours.

Is your brand future-sensing the Web 3.0, Meta, and NFT’s?

Web 3.0, the third generation of the Internet, is a decentralized version of the widely-used, centrally-controlled, two-dimensional Internet.
With the support of the Metaverse, Web3 heralds an inclusive, collective, open cyberspace. Indeed, the internet has morphed into a three-dimensional experience. Meaning, as reality and digital reality fuse you too can fuse into the Metaverse.
Meta means beyond. And Web3 allows us to travel beyond, where virtual reality and augmented reality join with other realities creating mixed reality experiences known as MXR. It is also possible to include the haptic capability in the mix, bringing our sense of touch and feeling to the Verse.
Turning to numbers. The Web3-based Metaverse liberates users from the ‘leased’ model of Web2, and opens the doors to the ‘ownership economy’. Recent reports predict the Metaverse marketplace will top US$1.5T in less than ten years.
Much of this value is likely to be attributed to Non-Fungible Tokens, or NFTs. NFTs are a new type of digital good or product born from open protocols which in turn are swiftly nourishing a fast-evolving, richly-integrated marketplace.
In every ‘something new’ there are the early adopters, the first movers, the Edgewalkers.
Our first Xfactor conversation of 2022 brings together seven Meta Shapers in conversation with Susan Furness, long since known as the region’s alternative strategist, hosted by the founder of UAE’s first internet company, Sharad Agarwal.
The Trio – Web3, the Metaverse, and NFTs, are exploding.Are you ready? Is your team ready? Is your brand ready?
The Time to Be Ready is Now.
