Divided into 4 trends
Regulation trends
Regulation needn’t be a burden. Get around the restrictions of red tape by creating innovative loopholes and finding crafty solutions to top-down directives. These cards will help you make bureaucracy work for you, not against you. Adaptation is key to rising above what others might see as oppressive rules. We like to think of it as innovation anarchy.

Technology trends
Welcome to the technological revolution: augmented reality, virtual assistants, biometrics, machine learning. Contrary to science fiction predictions of yore, there is no need to fear robots. Rather, they give your company a bionic leg-up. Use the examples on these cards to envision the different technological solutions available, and position yourselves ahead of the curve.

Use these cards to improve on existing methods and devise your own ideas of how to shape the market beyond the current innovation trends.
