This PPT slide, part of the 29-slide Future of Work Strategy PowerPoint presentation, outlines the initial phase of a trend analysis process, focusing on identifying trends that will shape the future of work. It emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to trend analysis, which is crucial for developing a robust strategy. The content is divided into 2 main sections: sourced trends and derived trends.
Sourced trends are gathered from both external and internal sources. External sources include insights from outside experts, press reports, and industry-specific trend reports. Additionally, search engine alerts and information from progressive business leaders are highlighted as valuable inputs. Internal sources encompass talent analytics, board meeting minutes, employee feedback, and customer surveys. This dual approach ensures a well-rounded understanding of the factors influencing the future work environment.
The derived trends section discusses the process of envisioning potential futures and working backward to identify necessary steps for realization. Techniques mentioned include premortems, which help anticipate potential failures, and science fiction writing, a creative method for exploring future scenarios. Analyzing competitor behavior and drawing parallels from other industries are also suggested as effective strategies for trend derivation.
Overall, this slide serves as a foundational guide for organizations looking to stay ahead by identifying and understanding key trends. It highlights the necessity of a structured approach to trend analysis, which can lead to informed decision-making and strategic planning. The insights provided can help organizations recognize potential disruptions and opportunities, ultimately aiding in the development of a future-proof strategy.
