The third step is evaluating the ideas. Here you decide which of the trends and ideas generated are particularly relevant and which are not. This decision is based on a range of criteria and can be displayed on a trend radar.
The fourth step is deriving innovation fields. In this step, you select particularly promising trends and areas of innovation – the basis for developing a systematic innovation strategy.
