How we do it.

Our service is deeply grounded in research and systems thinking.

We leverage Futures Thinking methodologies (aligned with GO-Science Futures Toolkit), including systems thinking, horizon scanning, economic modelling, risk assessment and digital twin development, to deliver in-depth foresight across vital topics of interest for our clients

Our bespoke AI-enabled horizon-scanning tool, PreVueAI®, enhances our Intelligent Futures service. This pioneering tool enables us to look further and deeper across hard-to-reach information by aggregating information and insight from an expansive list of sources and categorising them according to predefined themes and their impact on agreed topics of interest – including key internal strategic documentation. This enables rapid exploration of research content and deeper, more focussed topic analysis relevant to highly secure environments.
