The Challenge

The world is constantly changing. New technologies are shifting people’s behaviour. How might we handle today’s complexity and uncertainty to shape a desirable future?

The Solution

We anticipate change with the Future Thinking method. With a collaborative and creative approach we explore possible futures, unpack tomorrow’s trends and identify new opportunities. To finally create a vision that guides your organisation through the unpredictable future.

Anticipating change.

Imagine it´s 2040. A new technology has transformed the way we communicate. Climate Change affects the way we eat, travel and live. A lot of jobs have become substituted by smart AI.

Now come back to the present and imagine you are an organisation trying to prepare for the future. How would you change today’s actions with your newly gained insights?

What is Future Thinking?

Future Thinking is about exploring alternative futures. We cannot predict the future and find the answer for “what will happen”.

But we can - and should - explore possible futures and ask which one is most desirable. Asking the big “What if..? “ question enables us to shape the future proactively.

This puts us in a much better position than just observing and reacting to trends and disruptions once they become apparent.

Why Future Thinking?

With Future Thinking we equip you with a methodology to design a desirable future. We combine the best methods from different disciplines such as strategic foresight, holistic management and speculative design into a structured process framework. Workshop exercises that alternate analytic and creative thinking will help you leverage your team’s inherent knowledge and intuition to define a vision and a strategy for a better future.

Designing your vision collaboratively

The Future Thinking Workshop enables you to define a vision in a participatory process. We firstly establish a deep self-reflection on your own values and wishes and secondly gain insights about signals that surround us. By addressing those trends and wishes, we can learn to cope with the future’s uncertainty and accepting its unpredictability. With Future Thinking we can build a sustainable and optimistic future mindset collectively, which leads to your future proof strategy.

We can't predict the future, but we can consciously design change with our actions.
