Why?
Looking ahead is hard. The world is changing fast. The next 5 years will change even faster than the past 5 years. Knowing how to look ahead, spot trends, opportunities and threats are essential to the success of your business. Make your plan (a little bit more) futureproof with trendwatching techniques and methods to better understand your business environment.
This workshop helps you understand the basics of trendwatching, shows you hands-on techniques on how to identify and value trends as a team and how to use this knowledge to navigate your business towards the future. It’s a more elaborate version of ‘Trendwatching for Teams’ and focuses more on urgency and impact, on inspiring examples and the process of trendwatching.

How?
The loop
Everything we do is based on lean startup and design thinking techniques. This means we solve challenges in loops: processes that can be repeated until a solution is designed, tested and proven (or not). Build – Measure – Learn. The blueprint behind every session.
