Futures Platform

Futures Platform is a software product for strategic foresight: tracking long-term trends and scenarios so organisations can test their strategy against possible futures. It is aimed at foresight and strategy teams, executives and board members, and combines a library of written analyses with visual tools for team work.

What Futures Platform offers

• Trend and scenario library — in-depth analyses of future phenomena written by an in-house team of futurists, with new pieces added and old ones updated regularly; the firm says it produces roughly 200 annually.
• Foresight radars — more than 40 ready-made radars on themes such as climate change, cyber security and artificial intelligence, which users can copy and adapt.
• News signals — continuously updated news streams sorted by machine learning, plus a hand-picked alert on disruptive stories every two weeks.
• Foresight toolbox — horizon scanning, trend search and scenario analysis, with import and export of content.
• Collaboration tools — features for teams to share, vote on and discuss foresight work together.
