We’re kicking off the new year by hearing from two internationally acclaimed experts in data-driven cross-sector insights and global market intelligence. We hope the takeaways from this conversation helps set you up for a dynamic 2025. When you’ve been in business together for 25 years, and life partners for 30, parameters are important. Almost as important as knowing the right parameters to put into your AI tool to get a reliable result. Martin Raymond and Chris Sanderson are expert at both. As the founders of The Future Laboratory, they help brands and businesses around the world succeed by spotting the deviancy happening in culture before anyone else does. They’re both innately curious about the world around them, and about people. Their foresight presentations are legendary for anyone interested in being at the bleeding edge of trends. A journalist and creative director by trade, they founded the editorial platform for future trends in 2000. Just the two of them, and their dog. Fast forward to today, and they’ve collaborated with over 1,000 businesses in 50 countries worldwide, sharing foresight and ideas with over 20 sectors. Their desire to understand what makes people tick is what drives them. Listen in as Vince, Martin and Chris discuss how the tropes we now laugh at were once signs of innovation and change, the questions every CEO has and what AI can, and can’t, do.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Gen Z makes up 20 per cent of Australia's population. There are more than five million of them – and they want very different things from brands. Purpose won't cut it. They want action, locally and globally – and they are sick of nobody listening to them, per Chris Sanderson and Martin Raymond, founders of The Future Laboratory. They are also – aged between 11 and 26 – already wary of digital burnout. They've been bombarded with digital content their whole lives. Which means many are blind to the ads they've not already blocked. But not Out-of-Home: Out-of-Home is “so important for them [and to reach them] because Gen Z don't see it as an intrusion,” per Sanderson. “They see it as a logical, seamless connection with their world of brand.” They are also making their purchase decisions in very different ways to previous generations – the pyramid and related funnel are now “circular”, reckons Raymond, with profound impacts for brands. Plus they say its time to stop “sneering” at the notion of crowd-sourcing aspects of ad campaigns – or at least getting far broader inputs, particularly when marketing on billboards, because Gen Z is all about community, collaboration, and commitment: “It guarantees the sharing of the campaign,” says Raymond. Off the back of a deep dive commissioned by JCDecaux, the two unpack what brands need to know about marketing to Gen Z.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How do you feel about trends? In sustainable fashion circles, that word can have negative connotations. After all, it's the sped-up trend cycle delivers us fast fashion. Flipping between different, and often conflicting, fashion trends, it's easy to lose control, buy and waste too much. But there's more to trend forecasting than predicting that next week you'll be wearing blue. Or Barbiecore. Or whatever momentary madness TikTok is serving.Mapping cultural, lifestyle, economic and societal trends helps us form a picture of where we are headed and shape our strategies for everything from new business models to reaching our chosen audiences.Want to know how the metaverse will impact retail? Or if consumers are really likely to spend more on sustainable solutions going forward? Keen to figure out how Gen Z thinks, or if that's even a thing? Some predict generational terms will soon be a thing of the past...This week, Clare sits down with Christopher Sanderson, co-founder of London-based trend-forecasters, The Future Laboratory, to ask, what's around the fashion corner - and how they heck do they figure that out anyway? What's the role of intuition, and how can you hone yours? A must-listen for anyone in business who doesn't want to fly blind.Enjoying the podcast?

Listen back to this talk presented by The Future Laboratory's co-founder that explored how a new cohort of creative citizens are redefining the intersection between space and culture. Learn how digital tools increasingly re-write our understanding of experience, from Pokemon Go to walking tour apps like Detour to the continued use of augmented reality in traditional cultural settings and spaces like the museum and gallery. As culture—both traditional and contemporary—is increasingly less confined to 3D environments, creativity inevitably spills out onto a city’s streets, parks, laneways and public and commercial spaces, Chris joined us at MPavilion to guide us through this new, modern paradigm.
Nobody can accurately and consistently predict the future but by observing and curating ideas, you can uncover accelerating trends, see things other people miss, and position your business to profit from these upcoming opportunities. In 1982, John Naisbitt wrote a book called Megatrends. It became a huge bestseller and he made the term "high tech high touch" a household phrase that we still use today. Unfortunately, Naisbitt's trends were so big and unfolded over decades that they weren't immediately actionable. In steps Rohit Bhargava. Rohit publishes a yearly book called Non-Obvious: How to Think Different, Curate Ideas and Predict the Future. Rohit says, "A great trend is a unique curated observation about the accelerating present. Great trends are never predictions about the world 20 years from now. Those are most often guesses or wishful thinking." Another trend forecaster, Chris Sanderson, describes trends as “profits waiting to happen.” That's clever but to turn trends into profits, you have to act on them. In today's show, Rohit and I discuss some of the non-obvious accelerating trends he sees happening right now. We then talk about how to apply those trends to the work financial advisors do.

Chris Sanderson (of The Future Laboratory) presents a lecture on ‘Designing our future selves: How life in the 21st century is re-modelling what it means to be human’. Technology doesn’t transform society; society transforms itself, using technology. This insight informs a whistle-stop 30-minute journey into the new social mores and trends that are highlighting how the tech-obsessed 21st-century citizen is redesigning expectations around ownership, sharing, a sense of self and an obligation to society in this me-focused era of selfies, photobombs, constant comment, continuous partial attention, convergence and the internet of things. http://www.mpavilion.org/program/chris-sanderson-of-london-s-the-future-laboratory-on-designing-our-future-selves
