Trends 10 - Industry Insights

ITR Trends 10

The Trends 10 summary provides a dynamic look at the economy. Each major segment of the economy is shown in terms of where it is in the business cycle. Each phase of the business cycle (A, B, C, D) carries its own Management Objectives™ which enable firms to enhance profitability while preparing for the next phase of the business cycle.

How do you assess where your business fits in the economic picture?

The Trends 10 provides a view of the economy that is very similar to a train. The order of the cars on the train may vary slightly, but in general it is safe to assume that Housing is one of the first industries to move through a high or a low, and thus is a leading indicator to the industries that follow. 

ITR Senior Forecaster Connor Lokar explains how our Trends 10 analysis works, and what insights you can glean for your business.
