THE 7 KEY TREND AREAS TO FACTOR INTO YOUR STRATEGIC PLANNING
Inflection points and wild cards continually threaten to shake up industries. However, future-fit organizations are able to survive disruption by actively sensing and responding to changes. Still, a recent Gartner survey found that only 38% of organizations have a formal process for this type of trendspotting.
