Futures Talks

  • Futures culture, strategic foresight and anticipative thinking can be spread by delivering public or private speeches, webinars or academic lectures.
  • From economic foresight, change management and industrial futures, over Energy Futures and NextGen Infrastructure, to the Future of Democracy or the Future of Coffee …, we offer bespoke presentations based on your needs. Whether your organisation is a private entity, or a governmental institution, we provide you with key insights into the trends and scenarios shaping your future.

Preparedness shapes tomorrow: Failing to plan, is planning to fail.

Crisis, Adaptation and Transformation planning

Anticipation through foresight naturally evolves into vulnerability and risk assessment. These assessments are the building blocks for adaptation or remediation plans to the changing circumstances. Adapting efficiently to a changing society and environment will be a vital determinant of future competitiveness and prosperity.

Through Systems Mapping, we create a granular picture of where vulnerability and resilience in the industry or organisation actually lie, detect potential stranded assets and propose adapted preventive long-term actions.

  • We produce Risk Reports and country specific risk analysis, including for Africa, for your investment portfolio or sustainability journey.
  • We deliver Success Profiles, helping to establish what it needs for your organisation to become resilient and compatible with a future economy within planetary and human boundaries.
    • For example, backcasting from Net Zero by 2050 to today allows to reality-check feasibility, set intermediate milestones and create momentum through portioned action plans.
    • Other example entail moving locations, redesigning products, substituting suppliers, attracting new skills, nudging clients, constructing more robust facilities… Whatever the question, plans to protect public goods and private investments from a degrading outer context need to be accelerated.

The format of the deliverables responds to the client’s needs.
