Horizon SCANNING
across supply & Demand
Our holistic scanning evaluates the future shifts and signals with most impact for your organisation. And for a 360 view on what you need to navigate, we scan supply and demand, across three horizons.
With your own foresight lens that combines the best of deep human expertise, AI scanning and our partnership eco-system, you can confidently plan for the future.
EDGE THINKERS NETWORK
Embryonic, overlooked or fast-moving signals don’t always sit in data sets or published work that can be scanned. They are taking shape in expert minds and conversations in different corners of the world.
Feeds from a global network of human, ‘edge’ thinkers are also central to our horizon scanning. Inputs from 50+ handpicked specialists who span the fields of private equity through to psychology and sustainability through to deep tech ensure you don’t get stuck in a foresight filter bubble.

SHAPING YOUR FUTURE

Understanding what lies ahead is one thing. Acting collectively to shape the future of your organisation is much harder.
We’ll work with you to activate foresight and, crucially, help stakeholders to keep the future front of mind. An implementation programme, tailored to your culture, will:
Ensure priority areas of strategic opportunity and risk are addressed
Stimulate cross-functional use of foresight to optimise internal connectivity and impact
Embed foresight culture, processes, practices and skill-sets business-wide
