Did you ever wonder how you can explore the future?

Trend research is a powerful method to detect change at an early stage. It will help you to explore possible futures in the making. Insights in emerging trends provide a much needed kickstart for any innovation process.

In this course you will focus on trend scanning: finding signs of change. The lectures will prepare you to master 'the art of looking sideways' and open up your way of looking at the world. During this course you will activate your senses to become more aware of your surroundings. You will learn where to look for signs of change and execute your own 'scan plan'.

This course will also take you into the nitty gritty of scrutinizing all your trends spots and selecting the most relevant ones using the 'trend spot selection checklist'. Finally, you will also learn about ways to file the information and reflect on which system works best for you.
