Metaverse, artificial intelligence, Web3, machine learning - do you know what these developments mean for your company? In the digital transformation, companies act most successfully when they understand digitalisation as an organisational issue and see technologies as a basic building block for a successful future. With the variety of new systems and approaches, however, it is not always easy to separate the wheat from the chaff and to assess whether it is a short-term hype or a long-term development.

However, knowledge and up-to-date information on relevant trends, technologies and solutions with a focus on one's own business activity have a considerable strategic added value, enable an early realignment of one's own Business model and ideally create a significant market advantage. Furthermore, a company's innovative strength supports employer attractiveness and helps the core business to better respond to customers' needs and expectations by addressing changing preferences and offering innovative solutions to meet new demands.

Trend and technology monitoring is often preceded by a Digitalisation strategy The results of which have to be classified and measures implemented. We are experts in systematically identifying and evaluating global and national emerging trends, technologies, start-ups and PropTechs and support you in filtering out the relevant content from the flood of information and translating it to your company. Our research and insights serve as the basis for strategic decisions and help your management team make informed decisions about which technologies or trends to invest in, forecast the future, set strategic goals and adjust business strategy, products and services accordingly.

Just as relevant as the classification of opportunities and chances are sound assessments of the risks of digitalisation. In a world that is subject to constant change, early recognition of changes in the business environment that could have a negative impact on one's own operations is of great importance. These include new competitors, disruptive technologies or changes in customer behaviour. More and more companies are therefore considering trend and technology monitoring as part of their risk management. We support you in this with risk analyses and develop argument scenarios for the adaptation of your Risk strategy.
