Tools
The Global Trends Report 2012, along with the focused trend reports, highlight some of the major changes that are taking place in the world in which we operate and live. The purpose of these reports is to both raise your awareness of these changes and to challenge you, and your leadership team, to begin the process of making sense of what these changes can mean for your business.
The GlobalTrends.com toolkits are designed to support you in this process by structuring a set of questions and exercises that you can work through with your team to accelerate and focus your discussions as you build insights about and identify implications from the many changes happening in the world, your industry and your customers’ lives – then translate these into actionable implications and choices for your business. Our work with top teams suggest that many companies lack visibility on the future, are overwhelmed by too much information, and pressured by short-term profit demands. They are simply too busy “doing” to think and shape their future.
Here you will find available for purchase toolkits related both to the expanding areas of competition and the three spheres of change, plus a number related to developing strategic focus and other relevant topics. The range of toolkits will be expanded over time.
