Course Overview

Internal audiences learn about emerging media trend forecasting from the news unless you reach them first. Reputation built over years is re-assessed publicly within hours when trend forecasting is mishandled. What blocks progress on this aspect of communications and media practice is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Every module pairs a short input on emerging media trend forecasting with structured practice on the participant's own material. The level assumes working familiarity with the communications function but no prior formal training in the practice within communications and media practice. It establishes a shared vocabulary for trend forecasting so that teams can disagree productively about it. The most reliable predictor of sound emerging media trend forecasting is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about trend forecasting under scrutiny. The programme closes with an action plan for this area of communications and media practice that each participant writes for their own organisation.
