Jay McBain is a prognosticator, but he never takes a flyer. The rightfully well-known principal analyst for Global Channels at Forrester is a counter, a chronicler, a statistician, and a scientist.

There’s no one I’d more confidently ask for some 2019 predictions, and there’s no one happier and more confident to offer them up. Here, McBain reflects on 2018 and offers up his thoughts on the year ahead.
