The platform
Everything needed to facilitate a foresight session.
Guided sessions, a strategic foresight tools library, a futures library, Future Games and a fullscreen presentation mode — designed for live facilitation.
Guided sessions
Complete facilitation flows, ready to run.
Each session includes teaching content, frameworks, exercise instructions, timers, debrief questions and closing actions.
Strategic Foresight Foundations
Approx. 4 hoursThe complete guided learning experience: from why futures thinking matters to building scenarios, rehearsing decisions and turning foresight into action.
LEARN
What Is Changing?
30–60 minCollect early evidence of change and turn it into a small set of forces that matter.
SENSE
Futures Triangle
30–45 minUnderstand why change is moving at the speed it is, and where the friction sits.
SENSE
Challenge Our Assumptions
30–45 minMake the beliefs a plan depends on explicit, then test how well evidenced they are.
CHALLENGE
Critical Uncertainties
45–60 minReduce a long list of issues to the two or three uncertainties that would change decisions.
CHALLENGE
Build Alternative Futures
60–120 minCreate a coherent set of futures the organisation can test its thinking against.
IMAGINE
Futures Wheel
30–60 minExplore what follows from a change, and then what follows from that.
IMAGINE
Decision Rehearsal
45–90 minPut one real decision inside several plausible futures and see where it breaks.
