Strategic Trend Prioritization: Insights from NASA and John Deere PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 29-slide Future of Work Strategy PowerPoint presentation, outlines the final step in the Trends Analysis phase, emphasizing the prioritization of trends that hold significant potential for impact. It presents 2 methodologies from notable organizations—NASA and John Deere—demonstrating effective approaches to this prioritization process.

NASA employs a three-filter approach, focusing on 3 key criteria: longevity, alignment with employee or talent pool, and opportunity for evaluation. This method allows NASA to narrow down a list of trends and shape their Future of Work vision. After filtering, trends are categorized into themes that facilitate diverse strategies for achieving end-state goals. An example provided is the theme of "designing for sharing and security," which illustrates how trends can be grouped to address specific organizational objectives.

On the other hand, John Deere's Megatrend Assessment utilizes a two-screen filters approach. The first is an impact screen, which assesses the relationship between identified trends and the core business capabilities of the company. The second is an opportunity screen, which ranks megatrends to identify those that warrant focused time and resource investment. This dual-screen method helps John Deere filter and prioritize trends relevant to their Future of Work initiatives.

The slide underscores the necessity of prioritizing trends to enable organizations to allocate resources effectively and focus on critical areas that will drive success in a dynamic work environment. This structured approach not only aids in strategic decision-making, but also ensures alignment with broader organizational goals.
