INTRODUCTION TO
TREND-DRIVEN INNOVATION
We’ll move beyond the usual clichés (mobile! China!) and get right to
the heart of how consumer behaviour will change in ways we guarantee
you won’t hear elsewhere. We’ll explore themes such as the shattering
of the traditional adoption curve, the changing patterns of consumer
demographic preferences, what the next phase of tech-driven disruption
means for customer expectations, why consumers are lavishing love
and attention on start-ups and how big brands can respond.
SCAN – spot the trends that matter to you
FOCUS – prioritise and work with trends strategically
GENERATE – turn insights into winning new ideas
EXECUTE – get your ideas into customers’ hands

THE 10 NEWEST & MOST ACTIONABLE TRENDS
FOR RIGHT NOW
TREND FRAMEWORK:
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
While the entire day is about future opportunities, during this session
we’ll share an exclusive preview of the latest innovations emerging
from our spotter network and the trends we’re currently working on.
This session looks at how to structure a Trend Framework.
In it, you’ll learn how to to process the day-to-day avalanche
of consumer-facing innovations you come across by crossreferencing them against the big, underlying consumer needs and
wants. You’ll leave with a coherent and robust understanding of the
consumer and business arena (finally!).

readily-actionable trends out there!
