R&D Leaders, Use Megatrends to Inform Future Opportunities in Your Organization

Business leaders use megatrends to help shape business operations and guide decisions on portfolio investments, new market explorations, and business line viability. Plus, megatrends are sometimes used as input for a larger scenario planning exercise. The identification, prioritization, and application of megatrends can help the organization and its leaders to identify the highest impact innovation opportunities by informing how the future will unfold, including major customer, technical, societal, and regulatory trends. Research and development (R&D) leaders need to consider alternate strategic and product options when prioritizing investments for future learning and flexibility.
