Crystal has transformed foresight from an internal capability into a true growth asset. It’s no longer just about tracking technology and industry trends—it’s about using those insights to spark meaningful conversations with clients, inform strategic decisions, and unlock new business opportunities.

THE CHALLENGE

Making foresight fit for growth

As a global technology consulting and digital solutions company, LTIMindtree empowers leading enterprises in banking, insurance, energy, manufacturing, and beyond to prepare for the future through digital transformation. These organizations face mounting pressure to modernize legacy systems, comply with rapidly evolving regulations, and adopt emerging technologies—such as AI, quantum computing, and cyber-physical systems—to achieve meaningful business outcomes.

In this fast-paced environment, distinguishing short-term hype from long-term opportunity is increasingly difficult. LTIMindtree’s established foresight practice, LTIMindtree Research, previously relied on static publishing cycles, limiting the speed and reach of insights. To scale thought leadership, equip client-facing teams with timely intelligence, and drive new business, LTIMindtree needed a digital-first approach—one that could transform emerging technology intelligence into a strategic growth engine.
