We curate future thinking by sensing signals, sorting their common threads and foreseeing shifts and other disruptive phenomena. From this information, we create an authentic and original future organizational vision, roadmaps, and models into products and services for market success. We’ve helped companies identify future opportunities with our strategic methods.

 

The Institute for the Future’s Definition of Signal:

Typically a small or local innovation or disruption that has the potential to grow in scale and geographic distribution. A signal can be a new product, a new practice, a new market strategy, a new policy, or new technology. It can be an event, a local trend, or an organization. It can also be a recently revealed problem or state of affairs.

 

SIGNAL SCANNING:

Capture past or present signals that may reveal emerging future phenomena, and reveal potentially imminent innovation disruptions.

 

THE PASSIVE FUTURE:

Focus on a certain social phenomenon (such as aging society, the sharing economy and climate change, etc.) that has occurred in the past and is occurring in the present. Identify the pattern, and then project it into the probable future as an extension from the past to the present.

 

THE PROGRESSIVE FUTURE:

Create a vision of a possible future we would all like to share by identifying future societal, technological, environmental, economic and political needs and wants while understanding that the basic tenets of human nature will remain unchanged.
