TREND ANALYSIS

Our Foresight practices begin with scanning the horizon to detect early signals of change. We use a number of processes to identify potentially important developments and carefully examine the driving and restraining forces at play. Our time-tested trend analysis and prioritization process yields important strategic implications of the key trends. Our clients gain insights on the emerging issues specific to their industry, their stakeholder community, and society in general relative to the potential risks and opportunities requiring their attention and strategic action.

SYSTEM DYNAMICS

We live in a complex world of dynamic systems within systems. That is why System Dynamics plays an important role in our work. In fact, it is difficult to fully understand change if we overlook the role of the various systems at play. Systems Thinking is equally important and we work with our clients to identify the differences between where they are (current state) and where they want to be (desired state). Our work in helping our clients to identify critical leverage points is the secret sauce in the work we do. Leverage points are often counter-intuitive and we bring the expertise you need to avoid unintended consequences and maximize your results. 

FUTURES WHEEL WORKSHOP

Exploring sensitive issues are often difficult and it can feel like walking through a field of broken glass. Our Futures Wheel Workshop offers a time-tested approach to bringing key stakeholders together in an environment in which all voices are respected and heard. If you are looking for a way to explore a key issue and you want to understand it from perspectives you may have never considered before, we can show you how we can take a simple futures wheel process and help your team or group to produce profound results.
