Technology, social behavior, culture and the fundamental nature of businesses are all in flux. This dynamic
landscape has introduced exciting possibilities and formidable challenges. In order to thrive it's essential for individuals and
organizations to look ahead––to anticipate change and equip themselves to take advantage of it.
At Hyper Island, we are constantly identifying relevant trends with a crowd source approach together with our network to
decide how these trends might impact us, our clients and our students.
We host several events throughout the year where we gather leaders from across disciplines to collaboratively take the
temperature of how the world around us is changing. The largest of these is the Industry Forum, a one-day think tank that
sees over 150 experts across the globe taking part.
How?
Take part of our trend mapping model for a succesful and useful outcome and you can do this on your own, with your team
or business.
