About Moxie Insight
Bring the Next Big Idea Back to the Office.
Moxie Insight explores hot topics, emerging trends and over-the-horizon thinking to give you and your teams knowledge and ideas that can be put to work immediately to boost your competitive advantage. Focusing on Talent and Enterprise issues, our programs feature two annual conferences, monthly webinars, weekly updates, and year-round access to research. Since 1993 we have provided clients with insightful, thought-provoking analysis of emerging technology trends and their business impact. We serve as a “strategic early warning system” for our clients, helping them discern real imperatives from all the hype and noise.
Two things set us apart from traditional research groups. First, the Moxie Insight team of seasoned research analysts includes technologists, social scientists and business experts. Our interdisciplinary, case-based research approach gives Moxie Insight a balanced, holistic, pre-competitive view of the future that is unique to the marketplace. Second, we recognize that foresight must also be pragmatic. As a critical element of our research methodology, we “reverse engineer” emerging businesses/business models by looking over the horizon and then distilling a set of actionable planning tools that facilitate the implementation of powerful new strategies.
