When it comes to strategic foresight and future-proofing your business, few tools are as powerful as a trend radar. A well-constructed trend radar can help you understand the trends heading your way, so you can navigate the future with confidence. But just like dividing a pizza between friends, creating a trend radar requires careful consideration of how to slice it. So, how do you choose the right sectors for your radar?

When it comes to your in-house foresight work, it's important to choose the right approach for your organization.

Trend radars are among the most powerful tools in foresight. They're easy to digest, they make foresight work tangible, and management loves them.
