Strategic Foresight and Design Fiction

Strategic Foresight and Design Fiction

Strategic Foresight and Design Fiction

Identify subtle signals, anticipate trends, and spot opportunities for resilience and growth

Why Implement Strategic Monitoring?

To anticipate rather than react, to spot trends before others do. The ability to early detect trends, innovations, and weak signals determines organizational performance in the face of uncertainty. A well-structured monitoring system allows you to identify opportunities, prevent disruptions, enlighten decisions, and fuel growth strategies. However, such monitoring only holds value when it is useful, actionable, and deployable.

Our Approach: Weak Signals + Activation

We build monitoring systems tailored to your strategic issues, seamlessly integrated into your decision-making processes. By leveraging diverse sources (academic, user insights, market trends, innovations), we unveil trends that are genuinely beneficial to your business.

Approach

  1. Definition of megatrends, monitoring axes, and relevant sources.

  2. Implementation of a human + technological system.

  3. Creation of deliverables to project and empower teams (foresight scenarios, storyboards, videos).

  4. Support for activation (workshops, prioritization, decision-making).

Benefits

  • Better-informed strategic decisions.

  • Projection onto desirable futures and avoidance of pitfalls through foresight design.

  • Alignment of project portfolios and teams around the strategy.

  • Increased responsiveness and ability to anticipate market changes.

  • Quick action on high-potential topics.

  • Internal valorization of the monitoring function.
