Trendslab17 INterDEPENDENCE
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..
For the first time the more established three Trends Research University programs come together (Elisava 2008, Fontys 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.
