Identifying a Trend

Trends - Format and Content

1. A trend is a statement of a phenomenon or change and its direction in the next 3-5 years. A trend statement is written and expressed accordingly. Avoid a "trend statement" suggested or assumed, or expressed as a reflection of values and or a response to a change and its future direction.
2. Make sure each trend is supported with a rationale, that is a summary of the primary sources of information in support of the trend statement.
3. Review - for form, content and comprehensiveness, trends presented in the workshop on January 16.

A final set of core trends will be selected on the following criteria:

1. The likelihood of the trend occurring during the next 3-5 years.
2. Judgments on the quality and quantity of the implications associated with each trend for the region the College serves.
3. The results of interviews with leaders on trends they believe are most important for the region.
