You need to see how technology changes, especially those coming from outside your immediate industry, may impact your products.  But you can not afford to spend a small fortune on paper only studies.  You need a complete and unbiased picture of what the future may bring from both the business and technical perspective.  And you need to do this without adversely impacting current ongoing projects.  T. H. E. Solution LLC provides the means to achieve all of these goals.  An example is the smart device connectivity study recently completed by T. H. E. Solution LLC.  The study encompassed everything from the business case to detailed reference implementations of key technical options.
