Other Trends
Change multiplies across society. Demographics, urbanisation, globalisation and the future of work are rewriting how we live, compete and grow.
Navigating this complexity calls for rigorous insight and entrepreneurial speed.
We help you spot signals early, test responses fast and build structures that thrive amid shifting demographics, evolving cities, decarbonisation, global markets and new work models.
Demographic shifts, accelerating urban growth, global interdependence and a reimagined world of work now converge into a single, compound force - changing demand patterns, talent pools and value chains all at once.
Population ageing, migration and diverse household structures press organisations to rethink products, services and inclusion. Mega-cities strain infrastructure while second-tier hubs rise, altering where and how value is created. Border-spanning data, capital and supply networks redraw competitive maps, just as hybrid and flexible work models reshape leadership, culture and capability building.
Navigating this complexity calls for rigorous insight and entrepreneurial speed. We help organisations spot the signals early, test responses quickly and build structures that thrive amid shifting demographics, evolving cities and fluid global labour dynamics - so they stay resilient and ready for whatever comes next.
Across our society, these subtrends show where innovation creates new relevance.
Demographics shape the future of societies.
They influence how people live, work and take part in the economy. Ageing, migration and changing family systems demand new strategies, structures and services that respond to long-term transitions.
This affects demand, talent, services and infrastructure across sectors.
We help organisations stay relevant by building systems that respond to demographic realities - and turn them into innovation.
Cities are expanding and so is the complexity around them. Urbanisation demands innovation across systems and scales. Urban areas continue to grow. Cities face infrastructure stress, demographic shifts, digital services and evolving lifestyles.
This reshapes how we live, move and organise public and private systems.
We support organisations in turning urban complexity into innovation - by building models that work across systems, stakeholders and scales.
Globalisation is being reshaped by conflict, climate and competition. These shifts demand new models of presence, production and cooperation.
Supply chains are shifting. Markets decouple.
Political and environmental risks reshape how value flows across borders. Organisations must redefine where and how they create relevance and resilience.
We support that shift - by setting up innovation systems that are adaptive, connected and globally aware.
Work is changing: driven by technology, demographics and shifting expectations. It redefines how organisations attract talent, form teams and enable contribution.
Shifts in technology, talent and values are reshaping what work means. People seek autonomy, purpose and growth. Organisations require adaptability and clarity.
This creates both pressure and potential.
We help build the systems and cultures where people grow, contribute and shape innovation from within.

Future of Work
Work is changing: driven by technology, demographics and shifting expectations. It redefines how organisations attract talent, form teams and enable contribution. Shifts in technology, talent and values are reshaping what work means.
People seek autonomy, purpose and growth. Organisations require adaptability and clarity.
We help organisations manage the transition, through informing innovation culture as well as the underlying structure and processes that support the future of work.
We work with you along the innovation journey through different service offerings.
Sustainability is not one trend. It is a system of shifts. These subtrends show where transformation happens - and where organisations need to respond.
Circular Economy
Circular principles offer a pragmatic response to resource and sustainability pressure. But capturing these opportunities is complex. We help organisations embed circular thinking and translate it into concrete action.

Decarbonisation
Low emission systems are critical to climate goals. The shift demands innovation, supply chain transparency and structural change. We support organisations in navigating this shift with clarity, direction and measurable progress.
Green Tech
Technology drives ecological change. From energy systems to recycling innovation, the right solutions reduce pressure and unlock new possibilities. We help organisations move from potential to impact – with the right technologies at the right moment.
Green Energy
Energy from waste and biomass can power climate-compatible value creation. But infrastructure, readiness and system integration are essential. We support organizations in making this shift real through long-term system thinking.
