Why should banks rely on trend scouting and innovation management?
Systematic trend scouting, i.e. comprehensive monitoring and evaluation of trends, helps financial services providers to adapt to economic and demographic changes at an early stage. After all, banks are facing immense challenges due to the climate and energy crises as well as ongoing geopolitical conflicts and a changing society.
We analyze the major mega trends of our time (from gender shift to new work concepts to neo-ecology), break them down to what they imply on a concrete level and develop appropriate solutions and recommendations for action.
What moves Generation Alpha and Generation Z? What will banks and their business look like in the future?
With our comprehensive trend scouting services, we support you in understanding the needs of the “new” customers and employees from Gen Z as well as Generation Alpha and in establishing new market fields at an early stage.
The zeb trend scouting team helps you identify key trends, anchor them in your strategy and initiate relevant measures for innovation.
A holistic innovation process picks up on impulses in the form of trends early on and translates them into innovation fields, thus developing concrete, prioritized ideas.
