12/06/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

Recognizing trends early on and using them for your own business models can be the key to long-term success. There are a few different ways that companies can identify trends early on.

First, companies should evaluate various data sources to gain a better understanding of current industry trends. These include industry reports, market research reports, economic forecasts, social media and other Internet resources. This data can then be used to identify patterns and provide early warning of potential trends.

Second, companies should also analyze the opinions and experiences of their customers. By analyzing customer feedback, surveys and other data, companies can identify early trends that are developing among their customers.

Third, companies should also develop innovative solutions to existing problems. By developing new technologies and ideas, companies can identify trends early on and use them to their advantage.

Finally, companies can also monitor the competition. By monitoring developments in the industry and the competition, companies can identify trends early on and use them for their own success.

Identifying trends early on and using them for one's own business models can be an important factor in a company's long-term success. By using data analysis, customer feedback, innovations, and competitor monitoring, companies can identify trends early on and use them for their own purposes.

A clear and inspiring company culture can motivate employees to identify with the company and contribute more actively. Young companies should clearly communicate their values and goals, ensuring they are lived from leadership to frontline employees.

Employees who feel they can grow professionally are generally more motivated and engaged. Young companies should offer training and development opportunities and outline clear career paths.

Why PR agencies will (not) be able to help you out

11/23/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS
PR agencies can help companies find the right communication to their target audience and improve their brand. This can be achieved by providing strategic advice, quality content and media relations. However, PR agencies can't help if companies don't have a clear understanding of the audience they want to target, or if they don't have a clear plan for how they want to achieve their goals. Therefore, it is important that companies have a strong understanding of their brand and their target audience before approaching a PR agency.

Founders beware - The pitfalls to avoid when taking the step into self-employment

11/21/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

1. Spending too much money: It is important to plan carefully and understand how much money you have available and how much you need to start up. You should not spend more than you can afford and make sure you have realistic financing.

2. Unclear goals: Before starting your own business, you should set clear goals so you know how to proceed and what you want to achieve.

3. Neglecting business planning: A business plan is a fundamental tool to start and run a business. Without such a plan, you have no direction and no clear idea of how to make your business successful.

4. Underestimating the competition: when trying to start your own business, you should not forget that there are already other companies trying to achieve the same thing. Therefore, it is important to learn about the competition and develop a plan on how to differentiate yourself from them and give yourself an advantage.

5. Not paying attention to the legal aspects: Before starting a business, it is important to learn about the legal framework and make sure you are doing everything right. This includes complying with all relevant laws and regulations.
