The questions we get again & again.

What exactly is trend forecasting?

Think of it as preparation, not prediction. In trend forecasting, we spot and track emergent consumer behaviors, cultural shifts and industry patterns, helping us envision the strategies—be it product, experiences or initiatives—that will be most relevant and successful in the future.

Are there certain industries that use trend forecasting and strategic foresight?

Every industry—and individual—can benefit from the power of trend forecasting. Whether it’s ideating commercial innovations in CPG or glimpsing what's next in a nonprofit’s sector, trend forecasting can help you sense what’s coming and shape strategies for the months or years ahead.

AI can now help us spot trends. How is that different than trend forecasting?

You’re right: technology is connecting us to trends in new and powerful ways. But trend forecasting takes it farther and deeper, helping you understand why it’s forming, how long its cycle will be, and its connection points to broader cultural shifts

How can businesses put trends and foresight to use?
