APPROACH
Interviews & brainstorming
with experts & professionals
in Psychology, Sociology,
Economy, Healthcare
Web services, Public &
Private sectors
“Rule of the game” =
Consider the 2 hypothetic
scenarios as possible after
covid-19
and define together the
consequences for human
beings and expected
attitude – initiatives from
brands and companies
3. SynapsesQuali – April 2020 3
Future will be probably a mix of both
scenarios but it helps for this
brainstorming to work with extreme
caricatures

Real estate (private, commercial,
enterprise,…)
Travel industry focused on people transport
abroad
Decline of luxury goods & premium brands at
least those addressed previously to middle
class. Maybe “mini” formats
Decline of “Exotic” as main selling argument
(travels, furniture, culture, origin…)
The losers…

new social & eco friendly values
Collaborative platforms
Part of Healthcare sector being sponsored (1st
line - emergency – nurses)
Part of academic and research world being
sponsored if aligned with eco-friendliness,
climate, local production,…
Products and services reinforcing real social
contacts
Sharing economy ++
Soft mobility : bicycle, feet
Winning sectors ...
Heavily polluting sectors: chemicals, truck
transport, intensive farming, intensive
livestock,…
Probably companies who have relocate whole
production abroad
Maybe those who have done nothing to help
during the crisis…
Companies / sectors stimulating automation
instead of sharing work/time between people
Sectors or at least attitudes in opposition with
share – solidarity like extreme individual
luxury (clothing, cars, jewelry, real estate…)
The losers…

Both ways of behaving, thinking and their respective needs will be probably present
among your customers,

Including those coming back to their routines and “doing as usual”
We can help you to:
Translate these changes in your own sector – activity
To train your management about how detect these signals – behaviors
And how to adopt the right attitude
