Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you could predict the future? How would your life change with such a superpower?
Imagine knowing when to get into the real estate market… or when to stay out. Or perhaps you would use your knowledge to pick the ideal time to run for political office. Or to identify products, services, messages and movements that are most likely to resonate with the public’s changing tastes and desires.
These are just some of the powerful applications of socionomics, a pioneering field devoted to understanding how shifts in social psychology shape trends in social behaviour.
You won’t come away from the webinar with a crystal ball, but you will leave with an ability to identify social mood trends in real time, evaluate how to capitalize on opportunities and how to dodge risks.
Presented by:
