Is anyone who has stuck with BA Future Lab since the launch able to confirm whether it did ever yield any substantive information or insights that should be kept confidential, or did it all turn out to be fluff and nonsense ?
I don't post on it but do read it and would say that
1) No, nothing confidential really appears, and even if there is a hint of anything like that it is widely discussed on here first in any case
2) From having looked at it for a while its main purpose seems to be to justify what has already happened, A series of polls and discussions around what has already happened which if the discussions/polls don't go the right way for BA are followed with a similar set a few weeks later asking the same questions in a different way. So I don't think they are using it that much as a sounding board for the future, more a sounding board for what has already been done.
