Disruption has become a cliche because most trend reports stop at headlines. VSI's Consulting Radar goes further, quantifying when and how forces–quantum decryption, water scarcity, AI regulation, demographic inversion–hit balance sheets. The 2026 edition merges Trend
Scope AI text-mining across patents, VC flows, and policy bills with human scenario labs. Each trend is scored on inevitability, velocity, and value at stake. Clients receive sector-specific heat maps: how quantum will force rotating secrets every six months in banking; how embedded insurance will cannibalise 8 % of property-casualty premiums; how micro-nuclear energy reshapes plant-site decisions in heavy industry. Playbooks bundle jump-start OKRs, investment guardrails, and risk offsets so boards can allocate capital with confidence. Firms that adopted the 2025 Radar captured $1.1 B new revenue and dodged $400 M regulatory cost. The 2026 edition adds carbon-border tariffs, synthetic-biology IP wars, and AI-energy-use caps–making foresight the cheapest form of insurance.
