Deeply understanding, embedding and applying emerging consumer trends and insights in an organization is absolute gold dust. We know you know.
And yet, many organizations still have a very fragmented approach to the ownership, role and the application of trends within strategy and innovation projects.
Which makes it challenging (now there's an understatement) to foster a company-wide, future-focused culture.
Here’s how we help leading brands around the world to trendify their teams, if not the entire organization:
We have the content, methodology, process and experience to provide your organization with crucial trend intelligence on an ongoing basis.
From building or synthesizing your strategic trend framework(s) to presenting the latest trends to your C-suite to arranging access to our trend intelligence platform for your teams.
You need trends (and the opportunities they represent) embedded in your organization.
From building an internal trend community to fostering an innovation culture, rest assured we have plenty of courses and cases to get you going - all of it always supported by actual trend intelligence.
Knowing and embedding will lead to very little (if anything) if your teams don’t know how to turn insights and their future-proof mindset into actual new concepts, products or campaigns.
Which is where our methodology and apply tools like the Consumer Trend Radar and Consumer Trend Canvas come in. Easy to use, across disciplines, with a sole focus on ideation and innovation.
For over a decade, our Trend Analysts have been working with some of the biggest organizations in the world on strategic trend projects. From the US to Brazil to South Africa to Thailand.
If you're deeply into trends and in charge of getting as many of your teams / colleagues involved in any kind of trend understanding, thinking or applying, check out our client cases to get a better feel of what we could do for and with you.
