Herman Konings's biography

At a glance

  • Belgian trend analyst and consumer psychologist
  • Founder of nXt think tank serving global brands
  • Author of "Gap the Mind" on consumer behaviour
Herman Konings is a Belgian trend analyst and consumer psychologist who translates complex societal shifts into actionable business intelligence. His forward-thinking approach helps organisations navigate uncertainty with evidence-based strategies. As managing director of nXt, a think tank he founded in 1991, Herman provides trend forecasting expertise to global brands including BMW, Coca-Cola and Unilever. His book "Gap the Mind" examines how significant events reshape consumer behaviour and market dynamics. Herman helps organisations identify emerging opportunities before competitors by connecting psychological insights with market trends. His analysis enables companies to develop products and services that anticipate consumer needs rather than merely responding to them. This proactive approach has proven especially valuable for businesses navigating post-pandemic market transformations. Audiences leave Herman's presentations with practical frameworks for identifying relevant trends in their industry, strategies for translating consumer psychology into competitive advantages, and confidence to make forward-looking decisions based on substantiated research rather than guesswork. Book Herman when your organisation needs to move beyond reactive thinking and develop a truly anticipatory business strategy.
