4 Non-obvious Megatrends That Matter Since the Pandemic
Rohit Bhargava: 7 Non-Obvious Trends Changing The Future | SXSW 2019
The future seems impossible to predict, but the signs of what will matter in the coming years are already here. The problem is that it’s hard to separate the meaning from the noise. In this immersive virtual session, participants will get an up close and personal look at Rohit’s signature “HaystackMethod”of trend curation known to more than a million followers of his trend research. Live from his home office, Rohit will offer a personal hands-on experience of how to curate trends paired with engaging exercises to allow every participant to practice and test out the method for themselves.
We will also review five to seven megatrends from the award-winning research of the Non-
Obvious team and consider how these trends might offer insights for participants to use when considering how to plan for the future normal. The aim of this session is for participants to leave with a new understanding of what trends are (and what they aren’t!), how to use them as part of their strategy and how to become idea curators who are able to pay attention to what’s important and teach themselves to have more innovative and original ideas every day, as well as how to act on them.
What participants will learn:
• 3 reasons trend predictions are wrong and how doing the opposite can save lots of time & money
• The real secret to preparing for disruption in your industry instead of getting blindsided
• 5 habits of non-obvious thinkers and how using them can help you actually predict the future
• How to assess if your efforts are “on trend” now and into the future, and what to do if they aren’t
• The five steps of the Haystack Method and how to use it to observe bigger and better ideas
• 5-7 original megatrends from our research and how to leverage them in your own work
• How to plan for an uncertain future and embrace the right mindset to think innovatively every day
We are living in a time when it is harder to earn trust than ever before. People filter out marketing messages, mistrust brands and have access to information and insight at their fingertips. What does it take for communications professionals to succeed in this world of empowered customers? How can we become trusted advisors and build the kinds of relationships that lead to deep customer loyalty and recurring sales? This original and highly actionable workshop will focus on teaching participants how to use storytelling to transform communications and what it really takes to get any message to stick in an increasingly skeptical world.
Participants will learn the core principles of powerful storytelling inspired by methods used at top Hollywood studios and combine these with digital networking techniques updated for the social media era. We will cover everything from the useful apps and tools to the forgotten power of notetaking in an actual notebook.
In a professional environment, we routinely struggle with the right way to communicate effectively, make connections and be more believable. This game changing virtual workshop will teach you the forward-looking skills to succeed today and well into the future as well.
What Participants Will Learn:
• Why is it harder to be trusted today and how to use storytelling to conquer this “believability crisis”
• How to really create customer relationships, build on loyalty and become a trusted advisor
• 4 storytelling models and how to craft a better story and persuasive message
• Core principles of storytelling inspired by Hollywood and how to use them every day
• Storytelling lessons for presenting, pitching, having a stage presence and commanding a room
• Building a personal brand story to be a credible authority and earn a reputation that precedes you
• How to infuse existing marketing and communications with more storytelling principles
We live in a culture that celebrates innovators and prizes creativity. We are told that the best kind of leaders are the ones who are able to silence their critics, find their why, go from good to great and focus on their strengths. Hidden behind this facade of leadership cliches we often see is a somewhat more messy and "non-obvious" truth. The best leaders fail, reinvent, sometimes panic and know how to give up strategically. What if the key to winning the future was being able to harness the ability to see what no one else sees? This talk will help you do it. Inspired by more than ten years of groundbreaking research into our shifting culture, technology and humanity • this talk will offer an entertaining and unusual look at the future by sharing the five secret habits of real innovators. Using these habits, bestselling author Rohit Bhargava will share five megatrends that are changing our world, and how to use them to win in the future. The key to winning in 2020 (and beyond!) is non-obvious thinking and this talk is your path to getting there.
