Trends are a path to insight

People think trends are simple – a whiff of data, a commodity, nothing more than today's flavor. When approached methodically, as a serious research tool, trends become a manifestation of consumer desire and very real evidence of change happening in the marketplace.

Monitored as a business tool, trends are a path to insight. They're a way to understand current challenges, allowing businesses to harness power and insight. And they point the way to stronger business practices.
