Trajectory Now & Next
A simple & affordable way to uncover trends & anticipate change
Now & Next
Now & Next is an easy to use, continually updated, online Horizon Scan. It uses the same tools and methodologies that we use at Trajectory to think about the future and answer the biggest questions about change.
The core elements are: a structured approach to thinking about long-term drivers of change, an adapted PEST trends framework, and hot-off-the-press monthly data so we don’t miss anything new.
Every trend, article, presentation and report comes with implications – because understanding what change means is what makes it useful.
Now
Our understanding of Now is underpinned by our regular monthly consumer sentiment barometer. Every month we test new and established consumer trends with a sample of 1,500 UK adults representative of the population by age, gender and region.
Next
To understand Next, we use rigorous futures methodologies, including PEST analysis and Horizon Scanning. At the heart of this are the Trajectory Macrotrends – the jumping-off point for the future, each described by our team and incorporating data and real-world examples. Online, members can access our continually updated library of macrotrends content, supported each month by new articles describing the trends in action, deep dive reports and presentations.
