creating our top 17 trends for 2014 we consciously decided to not consider other lists, but instead think about the coming year in a vacuum. We wanted to tune out the conventional wisdom to our unconventional list of trends and, importantly, ideas. In some cases, they mirror what others have said. In other cases, they do not. But in all cases, we hope they cause you to think – and to innovate. Innovation, after all, is what we are all about. Good luck in the forthcoming year.
