Trendslab INterDEPENDENCE

For the first time the more established Trends Research University programs come together (Elisava 2008, and University of Lisbon) to exchange and share visions and methodologies around trends research and application. During this 5 days lab, you will develop a trend-analysis lab carried out in order to identify and apply trends in three main sectors: Social trends, industry  trends, and product trends.

According to Webster’s dictionary  interdependence is the state of being dependent upon one another: mutual dependence interdependence of the two nations’ economies.

It quotes:

” … a form of symbiosis, of close mutual interdependence of two species of organisms. “—Marston Bates

“… the deep psychological interdependence between ourselves and those we love.” —Judith A. Savage

Contemporary reality is based on complexity and speed. These relationships create permanent and temporary interdependencies among people, movements, trends and most political, cultural and economic forces. We are consciously experiencing The Butterfly Effect.

Plurality and diversity affect the notion of truth and the distribution of information and news, creating what the know today as Fake News or alternative truths, based on the plural perception and interpretation of facts and reality. Never before subjectivity has been as strong as today, making complexity even more confusing. No official version exists anymore.

The focus of this year´s lab is around Interdependencies and how trends are a mixture of political, economic and cultural factors that as a whole determine a very intricate set of relations and dependencies between businesses and many other aspects of modern life.This Lab will provide you the tools for analysing trends and planning them in future scenarios. It also supports the development of innovative entrepreneurial projects from students at the masters program in Advanced Design Management Strategy and Entrepreneurship from Elisava..

Oreo Creativity – participatory marketing on the rise

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

We all know the surprising images Oreo has been bringing to the public attention in the last couple of years. A shift in the way they are creating contents, concepts and distribution of ideas is making a change for this product, that now has a huge growth and expansion in the minds and daily life of people. And that seems to be the key for products and services in the near future. Being able to enter people’s lives in a more one-to-one way. Do not sell me the cookie, do not tell me what to do with it; just give people ideas and freedom and they will show you a thousand wonders. This is the collective creativity is working now. Opening the doors to fun ways to play and innovate, bring our daily vane products to a whole different level and also directly into our hearts. So how about playing together more games and letting collective creativity show new faces for more products? Which will be the next brand and the next level?
