Let's face it.
The past hasn't been entirely kind to the present.
The present is overloaded.
Governments, business and civil society are facing a triple crisis.
We need to be fair to all generations.
Something has to change...
What we do
A better future starts with better decisions today.
Taking a longer term view of what could and should lie ahead isn’t a distraction from the present.
It sharpens your perceptions of the present.
It improves your ability to act.
Foresight with impactNo problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.
