2025 Trend report: Turning disruption into measurable advantage

The gap between industry leaders and competitors is widening. While some organisations struggle with reactive approaches, forward-thinking companies are already leveraging emerging trends to create sustainable competitive advantage.

Our 2025 Trend Report identifies three fundamental shifts reshaping industries today. These insights are data-driven, supported by real-world case studies, and provide a clear framework for immediate action. 

What’s inside: 

  • Technology that drives adoption and revenue – Quantitative insights on how human-centred innovation directly improves user engagement, operational efficiency and bottom-line results. 
  • Sustainability as a strategic multiplier – How environmental leadership is evolving from compliance to competitive advantage, with measurable improvements in market positioning, customer loyalty and resilience. 
  • The digital-physical convergence – Case studies of organisations successfully bridging online and offline experiences to unlock entirely new value streams and business models. 
  • Leadership in an era of constant change – Proven approaches to building organisational agility and positioning your business as an industry benchmark. 
  • Monday-morning action plan – A structured framework to embed these insights into your strategy without disrupting existing operations, with practical steps you can implement immediately. 

Positioning for long-term success 

Organisations today face two strategic realities: 

  • Reactors – Responding to market shifts as they happen, constantly playing catch-up with competitors and changing customer expectations. 
  • Shapers – Anticipating trends, shaping markets, and turning disruption into measurable business advantage. 
Where does your organisation stand?
