The tools we use

We aren’t wedded to using a single tool or technique. Instead, we have a toolbox full of useful methods, approaches and frameworks that we can use to help you make your vision a reality. What we choose to use in our workshops depends on you, your goals, and the group.

Here is a selection of some of our favourite approaches:

  • Serious play, game-based learning, and simulations, including Lego Serious Play®, Celemi Sustainability™, and custom-designed game-based tools.
  • Design-thinking processes from the dschool at Standford
  • TOP (Technology of Participation) consensus and ORID techniques
  • Liberating Structures
  • Arts-based processes
  • Improvisation
  • The Art of Hosting
  • Participatory Approachs

We run workshops in person, online and in hybrid formats, and we are big fans of digital collaboration tools like MIRO, Mural, Mentimeter and more to keep energy high, record findings, and document our progress.

Foresight is not about predicting the future. As the saying goes: forewarned is forearmed. Foresight is about identifying possible futures, minimising risk and surprise, spotting opportunities, and working out what role you have in shaping the future.

Who we've helped

Relationships matter to us. We've worked with some brilliant companies and people over the years, many of whom we work with on a regular basis. Some of them have said nice things about our work and our approach.

Suzanne ranks in the top 3% of experts that I have ever met. She is smart, sharp, professional, insightful and delivers great results. I have worked with her as a colleague and on my own business projects. She understands all aspects of and is one of the first people I seek to consult and involve in all my projects. She is outstanding. If you get a chance to work with her, then do.
