Discover How to Future Proof
your organization
CHALLENGES
Why trends are used to justify rather than guide decisions
Awareness
Staff are unaware of how much is happening today, do not see far enough into the future, and do not sense urgency
Alignment
Organizations & functions lack aligned views of the future. Those views must include more than just external forces
Action
Trends explorations often end with being more informed, but not aligned as an organization on what to do
SOLUTIONS
What do we do?
We turn trends into action.
Awareness
Future Proofing Landscapes ground you in today trends, future foresight and scenarios, readable in 25 minutes each
More aligned
By engaging staff with the breadth of change across functions & businesses leads, we co-create a unified view of top trends
Action
We organize trends around needs, value props and conditions which allows us to bring them together into a landscape of opportunities
Why choose NewEdge?
We look at trends holistically for richer opportunities.
Efficient view of depth, breadth & interactions: We’ve done the leg work for you, creating trends cheat sheets you can read in 20 minutes. They capture a surprising breadth and depth of change as seen in hundreds of reports, start-up scouting, and interviews. These allow execs to efficiently explore the interactions between trends beyond vague megatrends like “electrification” or one-off instances of start-ups
Today and the Future: We provide two lenses for tracking trends: assessing what’s important today, and predicting the trends of the future. We provide insights relevant to your core – current projects through to long-range planning
Directly informs Opportunity: Our trends reports are designed around the three pillars of Opportunity: needs, potential value propositions and broader conditions
