Strategy, Futurecasting

I help companies craft strategies, that blend human-centred design with a keen focus on sustainable business growth. Here’s what I offer:

  • Strategic research: I work with experts to conduct comprehensive analyses of socio-economic trends, technological advancements, and emerging behaviors and mindsets, laying a solid foundation for preparing credible future scenarios and future consumer types.

  • Future Visions and Roadmaps: Together with your teams, we will look into possible futures and co-create experiences future consumers will love. We will develop roadmaps tailored to the strategic goals of your business, focusing on the most impactful timeframes.

  • Immersive Engaging Co-creation workshops: Employing creative methods from the worlds of art, design, publishing, theatre, and scriptwriting, we craft inspiring and memorable narratives that bring future possibilities to life.

  • Concept & proposition development: I help translate innovative ideas into viable business propositions that promise lasting and sustainable value.

  • Rigorous Validation: All visionary concepts are supported by thorough business and technological research, ensuring they are both innovative and executable.

  • Strategic Implementation: I help define what needs to be true for each future concept, including the capabilities and management systems needed to secure a sustainable competitive edge.

My future-casting framework has been crafted, refined, and successfully implemented across diverse sectors, including the future of work, sustainable energy, mobility, and consumer engagement.

Let's collaborate to shape the future of your business.
