Aligning a mining giant’s strategy with emerging consumer trends

Strategic foresight study combining demographic trends, emerging technologies, and changing consumer behaviours to help shape long-term market strategy and future-proof business model.

A leading global mining company was looking to understand and adapt to evolving consumer behaviour patterns to shape market demands in the coming decades. In its journey to develop future-fit strategies, the company needed to gain deeper insights into how global forces – from demographics to technologies – would impact its business model. With this background, the client engaged Xynteo to provide strategic foresight and support in developing adaptive approaches to changing market dynamics.
