Has anyone else been finding the discussion around cross-industry learning in TrendTapestry particularly insightful? It's making me rethink how we analyze emerging trends, focusing less on direct competitors and more on seemingly unrelated fields.Such as, the application of gamification principles, originally developed for the gaming industry, in employee training programs is a trend that’s caught my eye. Seeing how that's discussed within TrendTapestry highlights potential applications and pitfalls that I wouldn't have considered if I was just looking at best practices within my own sector.
It seems like the real value comes from identifying the underlying principles driving adoption of certain innovations and then creatively adapting those principles to different contexts. What are some other unexpected connections people have found through this emphasis on cross-industry perspectives? are there specific industries or sectors you think are particularly ripe for borrowing ideas from right now, and why? I'm curious to hear other's thoughts on this.
