How to sustainably foresee the future?
Description: Trend forecasting is one of the first steps in product elaboration. As design professionals, this is an ongoing process - Scouting at trade shows, personal or team inspiration.

Without noticing, forecasting in your organization may contain blind spots that may transforms in unwanted products or non-inclusive future.

With her expertise in trend forecasting, her distinct methodology, her years evaluating trend agency practices and trend books, Marie-Michèle leads this presentation to highlight the reflexes to modify for a sustainable & inclusive forecasting.
