Fjord Trends 2022 investigates human behaviours relevant to marketers that will affect culture, society and business in the coming year.
Nearly two years of disruption to the fabric of society has resulted in a collective shift in people’s relationships with work, consumerism, technology and the planet, pushing companies to design new ways of doing business.
This is according to the recent Fjord Trends report from Accenture. Now in its 15th year, Accenture Interactive’s study provides practical guidance as companies look to deliver value and relevance to their customers, employees and society.
According to Accenture – a global professional services company operating in more than 120 countries – newly identified behaviours will challenge businesses to rethink their approach to design, innovation and growth as a result of the shifts in employee expectations and mindset, scarcity caused by disrupted supply chains, and new virtual environments such as the metaverse.

“Don’t underestimate the degree of relationship change we are seeing — or the role of business in responding to it,” said Mark Curtis, Head of Global Innovation and Thought Leadership at Accenture Interactive.
“The choices that businesses make next might affect our world and its structure in more ways than we can imagine, and it all points to shifts in people’s relationships — with colleagues, brands, society, places and with those they care about. There are challenging times ahead, but also great opportunities for businesses to stitch together positive relationships to create a fabric of life that is good for people, society and the planet.”
Fjord Trends 2022 dives into five human behaviours and trends bound to affect society, culture and business:
“As consumers overhaul all of their relationships, brands will be faced with two big responsibilities: taking care of the world today while also building its future in a way that’s good for the planet, for business and for society,” said David Droga, CEO and Creative Chairman of Accenture Interactive.
“The key lies within deeply understanding the impacts of those relationships and aspirations and converting them into potent business strategies that drive relevance and growth.”
