“Which trends matter to you now and why?”

You’ll hear vague answers around headline trends:

“Let’s be the first to ride this wave.”
“This is the future—we need to look innovative.”
“Everyone’s moving in this direction. We can’t fall behind.”

A language of early excitement, not strategic clarity.

What’s missing?

A clear why behind the trend—and where it fits in the business model.

Then reality hits: wasted effort, burnt resources, and initiatives that never land.

Here’s what most businesses overlook:

1. A trend is an opportunity shaped by others.
Your strategy is to adopt and elevate it—as the market moves.

But with dozens of signals swirling around you, which trends should you prioritize?

2. Start by narrowing based on:
- Your sector (not just industry)
- Your business type (B2B, B2C, etc.)
- Your business size and region

3. Then assess the trend’s velocity, maturity, strength.
Ask: Is this trend accelerating? Peaking? Losing steam?

4. Pinpoint which parts of your business it impacts—so you know where to focus.

From there, estimate the cost, ROI, risks and resources, and build a roadmap you can actually act on.

That’s how you stay relevant—and know exactly which business muscles need training.

Do you find spotting trends easy?  Not the headline ones
