Fast, Slow, Hidden: A New Operating System For Trends

Forget the usual trend session. This session goes after what really moves markets: weak signals, hidden needs, and the tectonic shifts that everyone senses but no one names. We’ll explore fast-moving shocks (AI, geopolitics, budgets) vs slow-burning transformations (new roles, changes in client behaviours, soft skills) through fresh research, social-listening and lots of psychological and sociological shortcuts. Participants will pressure-test their readiness and map their blind spots to separate noise from structural change. You won’t leave with a list of trends — you’ll leave with the capability to navigate them. 3 Outcomes Spot the invisible: Identify weak signals and hidden needs before they become mainstream disruptors. Build your radar: Differentiate fast vs slow trends to prioritise action where it truly matters. Apply a system: Use a practical trend-filtering framework to redesign strategies, portfolios, and decision-making.
