What are Macro Trends?
Macro Trends are specific manifestations of Mega Trends. While Mega Trends describe global and overarching changes, Macro Trends make these developments more tangible and show concrete sub-currents with an impact horizon of about three to five years. They can be substantiated by innovations and Micro Trends and thus enable a detailed understanding of change.

With the Trendmanager you can evaluate which Macro Trends are of strategic importance for your company or business area and what influence they have on the market and environment. The interactive Trendradar gives you an overview of the relevant topics, shows emerging developments, and offers valuable orientation. On the Macro Trend detail page you will find comprehensive information to work with the trends and bring your employees to a shared level of knowledge.

Via the contribution function, supplementary content such as statistics, sources, or assessments of opportunities and risks can be added. The ability to respond to contributions from other users also creates an interactive exchange that promotes a shared understanding of the relevance of a trend and possible courses of action.
In addition, TRENDONE provides extensive background knowledge and insights that make it easier for you to analyze and understand different thematic areas. Drivers show external factors that reinforce the trend, while challenges & opportunities clarify industry-specific opportunities and challenges.
