Herman Konings is a Belgian trend analyst and consumer psychologist who translates complex societal shifts into actionable business intelligence. His forward-thinking approach helps organizations navigate uncertainty with evidence-based strategies.
As managing director of nXt, a think tank he founded in 1991, Herman provides trend forecasting expertise to global brands including BMW, Coca-Cola and Unilever. His book "Gap the Mind" examines how significant events reshape consumer behavior and market dynamics.
Herman helps organizations identify emerging opportunities before competitors by connecting psychological insights with market trends. His analysis enables companies to develop products and services that anticipate consumer needs rather than merely responding to them. This proactive approach has proven especially valuable for businesses navigating post-pandemic market transformations.
Audiences leave Herman's presentations with practical frameworks for identifying relevant trends in their industry, strategies for translating consumer psychology into competitive advantages, and confidence to make forward-looking decisions based on substantiated research rather than guesswork.
