Dell uses Macro Trend research to give us a vision of how our customers will be reacting to today’s global driving forces. These trends, combined with a thorough understanding of our customer + brands inform all aspects of Dell’s product, usability, and surface design. These broad shifts in technology, society and culture will combine to shape consumer attitudes and behaviors towards consumer electronics in the immediate future.

CMF partnered with ID to analyze previous season's data by product segment, retailer and region. Strategy was put in place for laptops and accessories. CMF worked cross-departmentally to make sure each product was executed successfully.
We identify key drivers we predict will come to define people’s demands on technology and consumer electronics. Using those drivers and our brand insights, CMF creates a material and color palette to inspire the direction.
