What you need. How do trends in demography, digitalisation, the new division of labour 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. Their essence is to think in futures and spaces of possibility. Disruptions and radical changes are part of these future worlds. At the same time, they offer the opportunity to shape development paths. Finding answers to complex future challenges. Foresight processes use a variety of tools. Participation formats are just as much a part of this as empirical analyses, 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.
