Stay ahead of unexpected changes and events with Futures Platform's news alert.
Organisation's often have a pretty good view of the possible threats and opportunities that arise within their own industry. But, as we know, potentially impactful and disruptive events often come from outside your operating environment. Widening your lens is therefore essential to understand the future landscape and notice alternative directions, before those unexpected changes occur.
But, how do you keep up-to-date of the latest trends and developments across industries? Futures Platform's Disruptor Alert is here to help you!
A biweekly email to keep you updated on disruptive news
The Disruptor Alert provides you an email on a biweekly basis with the most disruptive news articles based on your selected topics of interest. These items are hand-picked by our futurists. This is designed to spare hours of your time on researching the latest developments across different industries globally.
Select your own topics of interest
The news articles you receive are based on your selected topics of interest. You can select your preferred subjects from our 30 main themes (see picture below) directly on the platform. Navigate to Alert settings by clicking your name on the upper right corner of the platform.
For each selected theme, you will receive two news items per biweekly email. If you want to keep your horizon broad, you can set your alert active for all themes.
How to set your Disruptor Alert themes?
You can select your themes of interest for the Disruptor Alert on the platform. Navigate to the top right corner of the page, click on your username and select "Edit alert settings" from the dropdown menu. Next, you will find an overview of the available themes to pick from. Click the topics you want to receive disruptive news items on, or click "Select all", and press "Save". When the biweekly Disruptor Alert email is sent out (from insights@futuresplatform.com) you will receive an email in your inbox with all the news items categorised per topic.
It is also possible to view the most disruptive news articles on Futures Platform. You can find them on the Lounge-page under the heading Horizon Scan (above New Phenomena). Clicking the article will direct you to the news source.
