How do you help your team stay on top of economic trends?

Here is a thought - Economists rely a lot on data analysis as it gives some historical light on current times. While this is the best way to gauge economic issues and trends most of the times, it does not work in times of large shocks and/or structural breaks. The most recent example is the pandemic where huge demand shocks and supply chain disruptions led to unprecedented policy responses. This is the time when you switch off your models and rely entirely on economic intuition.

To help the team stay updated on economic trends, establish regular review sessions, share trusted resources like reports and newsletters, and encourage collaboration with experts. Utilizing tools for tracking real-time data and hosting discussions on key developments ensures awareness and informed decision-making.

Many colleagues mentioned train on tools, offer simpler dashboards and tools, challenge and coach. All applicable. Review your market data, marlet share data and your sales data over last 2 years monthly to understand the past trend and hence you can speculate. And spend a week with your customers, to get thier feeling of the market as nothing better than a customer speculation and it will be good to verify you trend speculation as well.

By combining structured tools with a supportive culture, one can make staying on top of economic trends less daunting and more engaging. Create a "Trend Tracker" System: Introduce a shared dashboard or recurring meeting where the team highlights and discusses key trends. Accountability meets collaboration! Leverage Alerts and Summaries: Show them how to set up notifications and follow authoritative economic sources. Data delivered to their inbox or workflow tools minimizes the risk of missing critical developments. Encourage Curiosity: Position trend-spotting as a challenge by recognizing and rewarding insights that align closely with emerging data—turn learning into a motivating professional asset.
