Futures Exploration Program

Explore a specific theme together with our futurists and peers from other organisations in a series of workshops where you can share insights and bounce ideas with other experts.

Wish to deep dive into a specific topic of interest and explore it together with other, non-competing organisations that are tackling similar questions and challenges as you? Wish to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the topic, with as diverse data points as possible? Wish to accomplish these through a straightforward one-month process with minimal consumption of your team’s time and efforts?

You’ve landed on the right place. The brand new Futures Exploration Program by Futures Platform is based on the extensive experience of our foresight consulting team, who has facilitated hundreds of sessions for both individual organisations and roundtable groups.

In recent years, we’ve organised several short programs that involve a handful of participating organisations and a specific theme. With their in-depth insights and professional facilitation, these programs have gained substantial popularity among our customer organisations. Much of the value of these sessions stems from the presence of other, non-competing organisations that are willing to share their analysis and thoughts with other participants.

Hence, we’ve thrilled to launch a new service that brings together the above benefits – the Futures Exploration Program™.

How it works

At the beginning of each term, our foresight experts at Futures Platform send out a survey to our customer organisations regarding potential (i) participants, (ii) themes, and (iii) schedules.
Based on the survey, we’ll complete a proposed match-making of the above to form an optimal schedule of 4-week modules with optimal participants and themes.
Once confirmed, our foresight experts carry out the facilitation of the sessions.
