Workshops

Our workshops are designed to answer a burning question of your choice extraordinarily quickly and robustly. We will work with you and your people to derive a well-formed strategic response in a 1 to 2-day workshop depending on the complexity of your issue.

Because we use our automated, collaborative system to reduce drudgery to a minimum and increase thinking to a maximum the normal time to conduct such an exercise can be reduced from weeks and months to just a few, intense days bringing you the benefits of fast answers, lower costs and competitive advantage versus slower rivals.

Our Knowledge transfer programs cover:

Strategic Foresight: covers how to identify emerging change, develop alternative scenarios and prioritize best options for fast decision-making on a topic selected by participants.

All Shaping Tomorrow knowledge transfer programmes use our unique AI and strategic thinking system to help participants discover emerging change and to respond in time. Each programme will introduce participants to the concepts of digital strategic foresight and give them the means to make better decisions today in hours, rather than the months taken by more traditional manual methods.

Participants will learn the best practices of leading forward-thinking organizations and be able to raise their ongoing skills for answering future in-house challenges without our intervention.
