About the Foresight Framework

GDR created the Foresight Framework as a proprietary tool to continually monitor and decode key forces shaping patterns and macro trends within our world.

We focus on 4 key areas or forces:

The Planet, The Economy, The Culture, The Self.

Annually, our team of business futurists will share our Top 12 macrotrends linked with these 4 forces, that we consider to be the most important and stand out for our clients, brands, businesses and retailers.

These macrotrends are presented in our annual “Transformational Trends” webinar in January, you can watch a recording of it here.

As we believe those macrotrends are critical in the short and mid term, we closely track and measure their evolution every quarter and regularly update our clients with reports highlighting watch-outs and opportunities.

Our Futures Reports share the quarterly trend highlights and you will see charts showing their status and how they are tracking and evolving throughout the year.

Get in touch with your Account Director if you’d like to know more about the Futures Reports and Bespoke Tracking, or email: assistant@gdruk.com
