EXPLORE WHAT'S EVOLVING
FUTURES LAB
In our rapidly changing world, listening into what is evolving is crucial to navigating the present. Strategic foresight involves exploring trends, uncertainties, and plausible futures, enabling your business to navigate a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world and enhancing your preparedness for the future. We use it as an integrated part of strategy development. What about you?
BECOME FUTURE LITERATE
EXPLORE THE FUTURE AND EXPAND YOUR VIEW OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE FOR YOUR COMPANY
Foresight and futures thinking have gained significant traction in recent years. A common misconception is that foresight is about predicting or solving future problems. In reality, it’s a process designed to explore possible and plausible futures, shape thinking, uncover opportunities, and build resilience amidst uncertainty and complexity—ultimately enhancing decision-making in the present. In our rapidly changing world, listening into what is evolving is, in fact, crucial to navigating the present.
Unesco even considers Future Literacy as one of the most important leadership skills in the 21st century. It is critical to understanding the complexity and development of our societies. It is also becoming a crucial aspect of business and strategy development.
By helping you and your team explore megatrends, significant uncertainties, and scenarios, we encourage you to consider multiple plausible futures. This can help you uncover new opportunities for your company and business ecosystem - and the world. It also empowers your team to be more creative, open, experimental, and innovative, and releases you from the constraints of what is.
THE FUTURE CONE
HOW TO THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE?
The 'future cone' is one way to visualize the idea that as we look ahead, there are many possible ways for the future to unfold. Some are more probable than others. And, some are more preferable.
Understanding this can help you explore the future. Even more so, it can help you envision the future that you as an organization want to co-create. This is valuable input to any strategy process, where we then use back-casting to explore different paths forward.
