    This document discusses identifying trends by looking at parts of a whole, emerging patterns, and relationships between causes and consequences. It explains that trends are made up of interrelated parts and can grow from microtrends to megatrends. Emerging patterns can be identified through documentation, archiving, analysis, and presentation of repetitive behaviors. Identifying patterns provides explanations for trends and understanding of their origins. Causes always lead to consequences and vice versa.

    Trends

    1. Identifying Parts of a Whole


    2. Identifying Emerging Patterns
    3. Differentiating Relationships Between Causes
    and Consequences
    In this lesson, you should be able to:

    • Identify parts of a whole

    • Identify emerging patterns


    • Discover relationships between causes and
    consequences
    Identifying Parts of a Whole
    It is mentioned earlier that tends are formed
    from the combination of things. Thus, a trend
    has constituent parts or portions that are
    interrelated. Their confluence, as well as how
    the people adopt them, makes the trend viable,
    especially the megatrends and gigatrends.
    Remember that microtrends can become
    macrotrends if they affect more lives and
    societies. Then macrotrends can become a
    megatrend if it can affect a much larger group
    for a long period like a decade. Megatrends can
    become gigatrends if they have everlasting
    effects and influences. Therefore, it is evident
    that a larger thing (a whole) consists of smaller
    things or parts.
    Identifying Emerging Patterns
    A pattern is a design, shape, form or
    configuration that emerges from repetitious
    appearance of lines, curves, and behavior.
    In the study of trends, repetitive behavior
    that gives rise to an emerging pattern is the
    main interest.
    Rehn and Lindkvist (2013) categorized the
    activities into four that a trendspotter could find
    handy to use as a tool to detect a trend.
    DOCUMENTATION

    • This means that you are able to record your


    observations which you consider related to any
    trend.
    • Whatever tool one uses, the important thing in
    documentation is the ability to physically keep
    information and data wherever and whenever you
    may be.
    ARCHIVE or MEMORY

    • This means being able to easily retrieve any


    documentation you have kept.
    • Nowadays, the most space-saving way of
    archiving is turning the physical into digital.
    ANALYSIS

    • The stage where the examination and


    combination happens.
    • Looking for patterns on prospective trends can be
    achieved through these methods: brainstorming,
    grouping, and crafting combinations.
    PRESENTATION

    • This is representing your findings for easy


    understanding as a way of analysis.
    • You can present your findings through, among
    others, a mood board and a storyboard. A
    slideshow is also another option.
    Identifying emerging patterns can be used to
    introduce to individuals, organizations, and
    communities change, improvement,
    transformation, and new opportunities.
    Once patterns are identified, trends are given
    rational explanations for their emergence or
    existence, and are provided with a better
    understanding of their cultural origins.
    Once patterns are identified, trends are given
    rational explanations fro their emergence or
    existence, and are provided with a better
    understanding of their cultural origins.
    Differentiating Relationships between
    Causes and Consequences
    A cause refers to an agent that brings
    about a result or a consequence. A
    consequence is always traceable to a cause
    which can be a person, thing, principle,
    motive, act, or event.
    There is no cause without a
    consequence and vice versa.
