Strategic Futuring — Narrative and creative consultancy.
Shift mental maps, shape the landscape. We offer transformative journeys to design the Future, on purpose. Other people may call it business consulting. We call it Strategic Futuring: transformative visions and strategies to shape the Future with imagination.
WHY THIS MATTERS
We are living less an era of changes than a change of era.
And yet, despite the talking, most organisations stay busy rearranging the furniture in the same room. In this context, organisations can no longer meet tomorrow's challenges with yesterday's ways of thinking.
The key lies in the way we look at the world.
A company may have a more conscious leader and still keep sailing toward the same ports if the map from which it navigates does not change.
So the quieter questions are not « Do we need to change? » but:
- What if we are looking at the new world with old lenses?
- What if our « solutions » are part of the problem — reinforcing the context that produces it?
- What does Business as the world needs actually require — today?
what it is
Not another strategic process
based on linear thinking.
It is Shapership in practice: a conscious leap — the Fosbury Flop of the Mind — an intentional paradigm shift from Business as usual to Business as the world needs.
Strategic Futuring is the alternative to traditional strategic processes based on analysis and linear thinking. It helps teams reinvent their business, their strategies, and also the way they build them in an unstable world.
We design and facilitate journeys into the unknown Future, supported by a unique fusion of Strategy, Foresight, Imagination and Serious Creativity.
Based on our extensive know-how, we use simple and intuitive forecasting processes associated with creative methods to generate Shifts in Minds for Shifts in Action.
This work operates at the root level of mental maps. In practice, it helps people:
- question routine thinking and break free from old boxes
- open strategic imagination and articulate transformative possibilities
- shift from optimisation of the existing to meaningful strategic reorientation
- render the transition visible and actionable through concrete options and initiatives
Futuring is the next strategy. It changes how and what we think so that radically different futures can become visible, desirable and actionable.
