Preparing for Emerging Trends

I think about emerging trends a lot, and realized that sometimes that’s not good enough. I think about them, research them, share those ideas and projects out with other staff. Sometimes those ideas stick, and sometimes they don’t.

What’s missing? Having a plan for those emerging trends, BEFORE YOU KNOW ABOUT THEM.

How does that work? Watch my video to hear my ideas on that. I focus on these points:

1. Being a Nimble Organization
2. Have a Flexible Staff
3. Budget for it!
4. Assign Staff
5. Use Listening Tools
6. Attend Conferences out of your “Comfort Zone”
7. Just Do It!

Those are my thoughts. What would you add?
