Description
After many years of growth, Unilever wanted to find the new S-curve for the coming decade. They needed a new perspective and an out-of-the-box view to continue to deliver strong results in the coming years.
We researched trends in the future of food & retail: changing societal, technological, consumer, production evolutions... Next, we scored them on their impact on food(retail) and made a prioritised list of the most relevant trends for the Unilever business.
After a dynamic and fruitful brainstorm on possible (product) ideas to surf on these trends, we created an innovation roadmap for the coming years. We helped Unilever build their future by working on constructive ideas that could lead to the next S-curve. The exercise provided Unilever with building blocks to prepare them for the future of foods and refreshments.
Outcome
- Impact analysis of the most important societal and industrial trends
- Innovation ideas and building blocks for the future of foods and refreshment
