Nowadays you can feel like you need to have an opinion on almost anything.

But you donโ€™t.

You can stay in the explorative stage of not-knowing for as long as you like.

Asking questions can help you to have an internal or external discovery dialogue.

Thatโ€™s why together with @jeruniverse.space I wrote an informal and playful book on the power of questions: Dare to Ask. Hope it will help you to activate the explorer within you.

How do we identify emerging opportunities, respond to changing behaviours, and prepare for whatโ€™s next?

Trend research is often part of that conversation, but itโ€™s important to understand that itโ€™s not about simply predicting the future.

Instead, it helps us uncover the drivers of change, challenge assumptions, and explore multiple possible futures to support stronger decision-making.

In collaboration with Els Dragt, author of How to Research Trends, we explore this in our latest article: โ€œTrend Research Is Not Future Prediction.โ€

A great read for anyone curious about whatโ€™s changing, whatโ€™s next, and how to make smarter choices along the way.

๐Ÿ’ก Share your thoughts: What role do you think trend research should play in shaping organisational strategy?

โ€œThe present is no more than material for the future.โ€ - H. G. Wells

The future doesnโ€™t appear out of nowhere, it starts with small things happening right now. 
Tiny habits, new behaviors, little shiftsโ€ฆ they all add up.

Whatโ€™s something youโ€™ve noticed lately that feels small, but could become big? 
Could be in design, tech, culture, work, or everyday life.

Curious to hear what youโ€™re seeing.
