Trend watching in a fully connected world

For every organization it is indispensable to recognize possible future developments systematically. In the hectic daily routine time and attention for weak signals of the future usually are scarcely available.

A trend can be defined in many ways depending on what we are speaking about, but generally it is the direction of a market. Trends can vary in length from short, to intermediate, to long term. If you can identify a trend, it can be highly profitable, because you will be able to trade with the trend.

Trend watching as a discipline has radically changed over the last five years. In a world that's fully connected, where thousands of smart professionals and amateurs are not only spotting, observing, thinking and innovating, but also putting their findings online for all to see, valuable resources are up for grabs.

So stop moaning about information overload and instead celebrate the incredible wealth of trend resources at your fingertips, many of them free or dirt cheap. Check out the extensive checklist* provided by Trendwatching.com, of where to spot changes in consumer behavior, new trendsetting products or just super-smart thinking on where our societies are headed.

In this group you have the opportunity to share your ideas and discuss upcoming trends and future visions. Please share your ideas, thoughts and visions. Use effective headings to get the discussions started in the "Discussion forum" hereunder.

Welcome on Board!

Reducing distractions and keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front would be an easy place to start. I think talking on phones in the car needs to be outlawed.

Dear Juergen,

As informed above, This group is for trend watchers & futurologists, and for you interested in future visions. It concentrates on existing trends and future visions, how to spot and what to do with your findings!

By this I see unfortunately that your postings do not fit in this group and remove them. What I would like suggest is that you created your own "religious" group to seve all likeminded members.

Best regards,

TOM

I wish to leave a hint and potentially invite you all to my presentation in Ventspils, Latvia, on May 14. 2009 14.00h... regarding "Bold steps out of Crisis - Proven Measures of Sustainalble Business Development and efficient Economic Promotion".
Please request details at zentrale@silvaplan.com

Hoping to thus contribute to a better understanding of roots and correction of causes instead of curing symptoms and "burning" the public's financial resources in the current useless manner, I also offer this knowledge to all of you.
So we all can do more for a better world. Just remember: There can hardly be peace in the world withpout rewarding employment for all!

See also my personal Commitment at neo@org

Kind regards to all of you, Gerhard E

Thanks Tom! Nice to be here! Very interesting as I was on my (run) updating tour could not simply help it but look around... something is cooking. It is in the air and not only here... We know what crisis are.

Something Big I would venture! Is it us the creative minds who are going to come up with something new? Well I think so if we look back to other eras especially from the Renaissance on, where science and art allied to put an end to the dark times of the absolutists to bring Light to Humanity and change happened more and more without the need of blood baths and so on...

It is up to us to contrary the pessimistic tendence of thinking that all that is happening is not another bad joke from Zeus to punish us.

Even tough Nature and all odds that seems to be playing against Humanity and make us (keep) looking back making sure no one lives the box open, if not the creative and thinking comunity who then? Everyone else is busy strugling with their day to day lives, repairing the ruins bad marriages weather politic religious and nature catastrophes have done to their dreams (lives)...

I think it is our duty! But how? There are so much (economical, logistical) barriers...

Hope was given to us when we were born - hope we must live to our children...

Merry Christmas!

I posted this on another forum here of our wonderful Tom's SCIU Discussion Travel Boards. But i think that this is by far one of the most important and compelling reasons to have available For all ages of lives assuredly with profound disabilities. Just as needful IS the heart of citizens adults, who need to be connected in every way and for our lives, the barriers that now exist in many parts of the globe, still remain that of 'access and inclsion'. Here again is the point being made on another of Tom's Discussion Bards on SICU Travel.
I would genuinely like to see the hope of lives with disabiities and profoundly brought into the mainstream of every day life, including travel!

my earlier blurb:
"I think in particular if we could get something going like centering on children and youth and or elderly lives with disabilities, with parent guides supportors being on a given trip to come to our event, it could present to be a great promotional advertising global connect for those also willing to make connect to air travel airlines as such. Though our event will be a first this year to say we have a sponsor who is willing to bring youth of the world at a discount price, find a hotel here to put up the youth as a package tour, then that would surely offer the globe of disabled live a real positive connect, a win-win for all... Wow, what a thought for lives to come : )"

Thanks again Tom. God Bless
tatiana

So what does this have to do with me? I am looking for airline(s) willing to bring to and back to their homes, for our event this next May 24, 2009, profoundly disabled lives, various ages to our event, 'walk and roll for freedoms and rights'
It would be a positive way to show locally and globally how airlines could make a viable point of bringing our lives into the mainstream market for air travel.
Why has and does it take almost an act of Congress to make sure we become 'included' ? We need a win-win position, as human beings, as lives addressing our own disabled issues, but moreso a partnership in which we may gain entrance without feeling as second, or even third class ciizens. How about it, any airlines willing to join and help us offer lives who ordinarily would not be able to trvel, through a contest we might hold for a set seating availability of say variances of ages, disabilities, to be brought here for a weekend visit, hotel included, for a stay here in San Francisco, then wisked back to their cities, and homes of origin. I understand that no answers will come to you in life unless you 'ask'. I'm asking? : ) Tatiana - MHONA INTERNATIONAL
sORRY tOM, I JUST HAD TO ASK on behalf of the lives and the rights of Human Hearts I have served for over 35 years.
