What is Innovation Trend Management?
Trend management refers to all the activities involved in scouting for and acting upon trends to fuel an organization’s innovation efforts. The process begins with researching and identifying global trends in innovation, technology, and society that are relevant to the organization. Then, those trends are evaluated based on their relevance to the business and the opportunities that they present. Those considered to have the highest potential will then be selected to guide the direction of the organization’s innovation activity.
