What we offer
- We inspire.Why is futures thinking becoming more relevant every day? What is futures literacy? And how much of the future is already set in stone?
Through inspirational talks, written + illustrated publications and exhibitions we inform about futuring theory and practice and inspire to envision and shape one's own futures. - We co-create.How can futures thinking inform strategic design processes? And what happens if we apply futuring methods to real-life transformations projects?
Using a co-creative and participatory approach, we conceptualise, design and facilitate detailed futuring processes aimed at envisioning, prototyping and ultimately shaping desirable futures. - We train.What kind of tools do we have for understanding and shaping the future? And how can we become more futures literate?
Through hands-on method trainings, tailored exploration workshops and train-the-trainer formats we provide a playful learning environment for beginner and intermediate futurists to understand, train and use specific futuring tools. - We consult.What are common pitfalls when designing strategic futuring processes? When and how are futuring tools at their most effective? What if participants can’t let go of the present?
With knowledge, empathy and encouragement we consult our clients on their use of futuring tools, methods and processes in short- or long-term projects.
