Trendsetting in Competitive Intelligence: What's New? So What? What Now? What's Next?

Information pros can't just be satisfied with following or keeping up with trends; rather, they should aim to stay ahead of them. Staying ahead of the trends gives you the ability to better understand what is happening now and later, to forecast and predict better, to be a leader and not a follower, to give you better (and more) business-related ideas, to identify opportunities and threats faster, and to know what needs to be improved in your organization.

In this session, we'll explore how to move data to intelligence to foresight to action, focusing most heavily on how info pros can facilitate the alignment of foresight mindsets, skillsets, toolsets and datasets. We will be actively using live polling, we'll explore the most important STEEPLED trends impacting our organizations, discuss their implications, and to identify what you can do now to stay ahead of them.
