Be a Trend Activator: Accelerate Business Strategy and Growth

We see it everywhere.

It could be the flash of an exotic gray pattern belonging to a dress, or the
solar panels glistening atop every office building. Maybe it's the child in
your neighborhood who refuses to separate from social media.

So what do we see everywhere? Trends. Sure we see them, but what are they
really if all we ever do is simply observe them. Had Martin Cooper only
observed the trend of humans being more mobile, would we be living in a world
without cell phones?

Trends are nothing more than mere behaviors without activation. At Foresight and Trends 2015 you won't just
discover trends, you will learn to activate them and shape the future. Visit
our website: http://bit.ly/1IkGbdN

You won't want to miss our various Case Studies/Workshops dedicated
to guiding you activate trends:

cross-functional trends program.
With some false starts about the program, Mitchell was tasked with creating a
framework for defining trends, leveraging existing knowledge, and recruiting an
internal team of established trend experts. The team's findings? The program
added clarity and confidence about how to think about the future of the home
improvement consumer.

trends and why brands should pay attention to them. After brainstorming in
small groups, individuals will present their ideas and vote on groups with the
most creative approach.
