Trend Mastery is a strategic consulting agency, identifying a world of transformational opportunities. The company focuses on the impact of exponential technologies like artificial intelligence, virtual reality and blockchain protocol. The next five years will be nothing like the last 10 or 20 or 50. New technologies are scaling at an accelerating rate and disruptive innovation is now the biggest single threat to corporate elites. Trend Mastery helps its clients stay ahead of the curve.
As human beings, we are hardwired to think in linear terms. Meanwhile, technology evolves along an exponential curve. In the early stages, that doesn’t affect much. But eventually, the progress accelerates to a point where industry giants can no longer adjust quickly enough, falling victim to disruptive innovation. Entire industries roll over, suddenly defined by new players and new metrics for success. This trend will accelerate in the years ahead.
Trend Mastery is focused on the bleeding edge. We endlessly seek new use cases and success stories. We follow the money, keeping track of venture capital investments and acquisitions in Silicon Valley and other technology centers. We interview experts and consolidate thought leadership content, looking for trends and clues of future innovation. Trend Mastery is your technology compass and strategic partner.
