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!

Hello Roman,

Thank you very much for your contribution and for the great links!
It would be highly appreciated if you could write a short introduction of Future Institute and about what it has to offer our fellow members.

Dear Jorge,

As you can read in the introduction of this group, SICU TRENDS & FUTURE VISIONS has been founded 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!

In other words, this is not a group for network marketers nor network marketing, and to be honest, I am very sceptical commonly toward network marketing, pyramids... especially here on SICU.

There are an amount of other networks specialized in this field which I warmly recommend.

This is because I have too many bad experiences of people involved in it, and because I have done and will do my best to protect our fellow members from spamming, which I see is a fundamental part of network marketing.

On the other hand, I see that your way to promote Agel is okay, but only once, because twice is already too much.

By this I ask you kindly to be careful not to over do what you do and wish you the best of luck, and that you enjoy your membership here on SICU.

Kind regards,

TOM

Do you really want to change Your life and of the Others?

I’m owner Luxury Services, a company that provide products and services online worldwide.

I´m making the largest group in the world, helping improve the lives of people.
Our duty as human beings to do something, not giving the fish but teach him to fish.
We have people with 2 types of attitudes, some crying, others sell tissues .

For that I HAVE A DREAM - ENDING THE HUNGUER IN THE WORLD UNTIL 2020.

At no time in recent history has our economy been in the state that it is today. The economic meltdown created by Wall Street greed, financial industry ineptitude and the mortgage crisis has hijacked the dreams of millions of people. We need a new plan to achieve financial independence.

My experience has taught me that the greatest opportunities emerge when economic times are at their worst.
The first thing I learned is that when times are tough you need to hedge your bets. You need to diversify.

The good news is: The Agel can provide you with a solution to help you and your family create a more secure future. Diversifying is a way to protect your income so that you can continue to do what you know and love, and still make money.
The second thing I learned is that the economy goes in cycles.
When some industries fail, others take off.

The network marketing industry exploded. During hard times, people with an entrepreneurial spirit flock to network marketing opportunities.

That's why I have put my name and expertise into supporting this opportunity. The team at The Agel have phenomenal products, provide easy to follow training and have a great support network available to all their members.
The Agel offers you a financial solution that you can believe in.

The Agel offers products that help make people healthier, an opportunity for you to make as much money as you want, based on your own efforts, and the support of a great company.

Join me in this worthwhile endeavor.

Here we have a tool for all have the opportunity to give and make a better World.

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.
