What you need. How do trends in demography, digitalisation, and climate change affect our actions? What does this mean for the design of policies and the development of business models? You would like to know what changes are relevant to you at an early stage. You are seeking to reduce uncertainties and make informed decisions. Foresight processes provide scientifically substantiated impulses for a strategic future organisation. What we offer. Explore opportunities, expand your field of vision – with foresight. While forecasts map development paths under clearly defined conditions, scenarios and foresight processes expand our horizons. They are used to explore not only possible and probable futures, but also conceivable ones. They also consider breaks and radical changes, thereby opening up spaces of possibility. The design of these spaces is what we are concerned with. Finding answers to complex future challenges. Foresight processes use a variety of tools. Participation formats are just as much a part of this as scanning trends or qualitative and quantitative future scenarios. Interaction with our clients is important to us for the development of shared images of the future and to allow us to examine their significance for your actions. Foresight: A selection of our services Future scenarios We work with you to create future scenarios for strategic planning processes in politics, business, and organisations. Analysis and impact assessment We analyse and describe possible consequences of market developments, alternative courses of action, and political instruments.
