We help groups, communities & organisations shape futures that are resilient, thriving and sustainable.
SHIFT is a foresight, futures and facilitation agency. Through futures scenarios, participatory workshops and interactive learning experiences, we create spaces where people can:
-
imagine and explore possible futures,
-
identify risks and opportunities,
-
be part of shifting the narrative and shaping resilient, hopeful and sustainable futures.
In doing so, we help people and organisations build resilience and thrive in times of great uncertaintly and rapid change.
