The jobs of experts around the world are getting more complicated all \u00a0the time – with more data to work through, more complex demands, faster decision making required.<\/p>\n

As a nice illustration, consider the list of tasks which India Prime Minister Modi has set himself, shown midway through this Economist article<\/a>. \u00a0Open 75m bank accounts, unique identity number for 1bn people, set up courts for politicians, cut Delhi air pollution, implement a goods and services tax and improve the sex ratio (stop female babies being killed), and that’s the first 6 out of 30 projects.<\/p>\n

And we include experts in all businesses and government areas here – running shipping companies, oil and gas exploration (two industries we know a little about), managing carbon emissions, running police departments, anything.<\/p>\n

All of these sectors have millions of subsectors – for example, see yesterday’s post<\/a> showing a sample of “software for domain experts” active in the upstream oil and gas industry – all very specialist.<\/p>\n

Probably the lesson here is that in order to spot a market opportunity, you probably need to be a domain specialist yourself. There are plenty around. But that doesn’t mean it is easy to find one who is ready to work with you in a partnership!<\/p>\n
