IFTF’s advisory services for leaders and organizations range from custom foresight training and education to research initiatives and foresight guidance services based on IFTF annual research on critical issues facing society (e.g., AI and leadership, technology and society, health and wellness, food, new media, work, and governance). Organizations engaging with our custom research and portfolio of tools and techniques build capacity in strategic foresight to navigate large-scale change.
Our Prepare-Foresight-Insight-Action framework is the cornerstone of our Future Readiness Services and is supported by over 50 years of IFTF research. This framework, which IFTF customizes for its partners, provides a systematic approach to anticipating and analyzing foreseeable patterns that effect change.
IFTF Social Simulations are a provocative way to pre-experience potential futures, immersing your organization in challenging yet optimistic scenarios. These experiences — preset or custom-built — expand possibilities and challenge assumptions. Immerse your team in vivid future scenarios. Spark collective imagination, uncover hidden risks, and craft robust strategies. Prepare for what's next — together.
