Who is the Institute?
We are "sensemakers" about alternative futures that are important to society, and by doing this we help managers make better strategic decisions in the present. We are a world-class research organization that is known as the very best in forecasting. We love to work with clients that think--think with us and think as big as we do. We learn from our clients, our colleagues, and our work, which makes us individually and collectively better over time.
Our primary clients are CEOs and leaders of strategy, new business development groups, and product design groups. Our clients also include emerging technology groups and marketing and consumer insights groups.
To become a member of IFTF, companies and organizations can join one or more of our membership programs or contract with us for private work. Each membership program offers a distinct set of deliverables at different membership prices and enrollment terms. Please visit the individual program sites for more detailed information on a particular program.
For more information on membership please send an email to info@iftf.org.

IFDTF: Institute for Doing the Future
David Pescovitz, Mike Love and I joined Bob Johansen at SQUID Labs today, where Bob talked about IFTF, our foresight/insight/action mantra, and his book, Get There Early. SQUID Labs is a unique breeding ground for innovation with a social bent.
