The CIPHER acronym for trend identification

The CIPHER acronym describes six indicators for identifying trends: 

  1. Contradictions, those examples that demonstrate opposing or incongruous forces at play simultaneously
  2. Inflections, occurrences that mark a major turning point or establish a new paradigm
  3. Practices, emerging behaviors that are becoming more pronounced or gaining in popularity
  4. Hacks, inventive, unintended uses for tools, technologies and systems
  5. Extremes, instances of technologies, functions or concepts being pushed to new limits that might change the nature of their use
  6. Rarities, highly unlikely or unexpected events and phenomena.
