Using Foresight to Plan & Make Decisions for Impact & Future Growth.
At insight & foresight we use a simple process flow to support you to explore the right data and prepare your team to do the strategic thinking your business needs.

We use a version of these 5 steps in the majority of our projects:
Frame up your current situation. - We start by framing up your current situation and exploring the potential driving forces. This gives us a better understanding of the environment in which your business is operating and what needs to be taken into account for making decisions that will create impact and future growth.
Scan for what's changing around you. - It's essential to know what's changing around you. This could be changes in customer demands, technology, the economy or legislation. We take time to understand the external environment and its potential impact on your business. We love using the data from the Futures Platform™ built by academically trained futurists.
Engage your stakeholders to validate & explore. - It's important to get direct feedback from stakeholders. This helps us validate our understanding of the situation and explore alternative views to inform decision-making.
Prepare & plan your actions & responses. - With a clearer understanding of your organisational context and potential opportunities, you can start to develop plans and strategies for future growth. We build a range of future scenarios to help inform decision-making.
Implement & track for impact & growth. - Once the plans and strategies have been developed, it's time to roll out your activities and track the progress of implementation to ensure impact and growth are achieved from the decisions you have made.
At insight & foresight we provide a comprehensive approach to help unlock value through strategic thinking. Our method has enabled us to support organisations across industries to plan for their futures. Contact us to find out how our process flow can help your business realise its full future potential.
