Stop Reacting to Change. Start Anticipating and Become Future-Fit

With Expert Guidance and Peer Support

The complete platform where small-medium organizations and independent consultants learn to navigate uncertainty with strategic foresight.

Ready for hands-on application of foresight tools, with expert guidance and peer support – to engage and develop a future-fit (client) organization?

Is change slowing down? No way! In our interconnected, technologically driven world, change spreads faster than ever before. The question is not if your organization needs to change, but when the impacts and disruptions will hit.

Yes, you’re busy. But future changes won’t wait until we have time.

That’s why we created the Strategic Foresight & Futures Community – where you don’t just learn about strategic foresight, you implement it with expert guidance every step of the way.

The Challenge Every Small Organization and Independent Consultant Faces:

Whether you’re running a business or a consulting practice, you’re dealing with an increasingly unpredictable landscape.

Market shifts happen faster than expected. Client needs evolve quickly. New competitors appear from different industries. Economic uncertainty makes long-term planning challenging.

You know you should be thinking more strategically about the future, but:

Time is limited – you’re focused on current operations and client work.
Resources are tight – expensive strategic consulting isn’t in the budget.
You’re working independently with limited peers to bounce ideas off.
Change feels overwhelming – it’s hard to separate signals from noise.
You’re often responding to changes rather than preparing for them.

Meanwhile, larger organizations invest in dedicated foresight teams. They spot emerging trends earlier and anticipate change proactively.

What if you could develop those same capabilities – with expert guidance to ensure you succeed?

and how that saves you time

Return on Investment of Strategic Foresight

If you don’t anticipate and prepare for change – unexpected events will hit harder. Research by Professor Jan Rotmans shows that 70-80% of organizations are reactive: they respond when crises happen, but don’t anticipate possible futures. They keep doing the same as yesterday. That is risky!

If you do anticipate and prepare for change, research (Aarhus BSS Strategic Foresight Research Network) shows that future-prepared organizations are 33% more profitable than the average. Not only do they perform better in possible futures, but also in the present. They are alert and adapt when necessary.

What if you could anticipate and prepare for change with expert guidance and peer support?

Real Results from Real Organizations

A 30-person university library was struggling with digital disruption, changing user expectations, and internal silos that slowed decision-making. Staff were overwhelmed by meetings, reluctant to give feedback, and resistant to change.

The Challenge: Move from a traditional, hierarchical culture to become more flexible, digital, and service-oriented while preserving their collaborative strengths.

Our Approach: Worked with the entire team to identify behaviors that needed to change, focusing on feedback, accountability, and client focus as key leverage points.

The Result: The library transformed into a proactive, client-focused organization. Staff began giving honest feedback and collaborating across departments. They started co-creating services with faculty and students instead of assuming they “knew best.”

A 400-person machine maintenance company with locations nationwide was facing declining profits, increased competition, and difficulty retaining skilled technicians. The CEO’s micromanagement style was demotivating staff and slowing decision-making.

The Challenge: Shift from rigid, top-down control to empowered, autonomous divisions while maintaining quality and accountability.

Our Approach: Worked with division leadership to identify essential vs. non-essential procedures, implement flexible reporting, and model professional empowerment throughout the organization.

The Result: The company achieved significant profit improvements and better employee satisfaction. Location managers gained autonomy, reporting became more flexible and meaningful, and the organization became more responsive to market changes.

A national branch of a major global logistics company was struggling after two difficult years of declining profits and losing ground to more agile competitors. Their 24/7 work culture, excessive micromanagement, and siloed departments were exhausting employees while slowing innovation.

The Challenge: The logistics industry was rapidly digitalizing – clients wanted real-time booking, instant updates, and flexible service. But this company was trapped in risk-averse thinking, endless approval processes, and internal competition between divisions that actually hired competitors’ trucks rather than collaborate internally.

Our Approach: Worked with senior managers to analyze future market demands, identify the gap between current capabilities and client expectations, and develop scenarios for what would happen if they continued avoiding digital investment versus embracing calculated risks.

The Result: Leadership recognized they were already “too late” and needed urgent action. They shifted from individual KPIs to collaborative team targets, streamlined approval processes, reduced reporting frequency, and adopted a simple but powerful behavior change: everyone now asks “What do you need?” across departments. This consistent question transformed silos and enabled the cross-unit cooperation needed for digital innovation and future competitiveness.

What Others Are Saying:

The powerful blend of theory and tools, peer support and real-world application is what I cherish most. Highly recommended for building real-world foresight capabilities!
Dr.Kanna Krishnan, LLB Hons MSc in Psychology, MBA in HRM DBA – Malaysia

As a founding member of the Foresight & Futures Community, working with Marcella and Marcel has strengthened how I think and operate as a consultant. The community’s global mix of perspectives—across regions, sectors, and lived experience—consistently challenges assumptions and sharpens strategic insight, while their facilitation translates that diversity into clear, usable futures tools. I’m applying these insights with clients navigating complexity, with tangible improvements in strategy and decision-making.
Lisa Tabor, consultant – USA

After following the videos and online meetings with the foresight community, I have narrowed down where I would like to focus my attention on in my career and within my community.
It’s a pleasure hearing different perspectives on approaching future scenarios and I wish that more people can become more prepared for the future.

FAQ

Questions? Check the FAQ below, contact us or connect with Marcella on LinkedIn to discuss how strategic foresight can benefit your specific situation.

I'm already overwhelmed. Do I have time for this?

The program is designed for busy professionals. You can complete the learning track in just 1 hour per week (20 weeks). Everything is short and immediately applicable. With annual membership you have 52 weeks to go through all the videos and materials. You decide how many video meetings you want to attend and how much time you put in.

Will this work for my industry?

Strategic foresight principles apply across all industries. We help you identify the specific trends and uncertainties relevant to your sector.

I'm an independent consultant. How does this help my practice?

You’ll develop valuable skills that differentiate your services, plus gain a network of peers for collaboration and referrals. Many consultants find strategic foresight becomes a key part of their value proposition as more organizations realize that they need to deal better with change and uncertainty.

What if I can't attend the live video meetings?

Some of the sessions will be recorded as our community grows. As live participation is valuable for interaction and you can learn and collaborate more, we hope that you can attend some of the sessions!

Is there ongoing support after I complete the program?

Yes! Your membership includes continued access to the community, new resources as we develop them, and ongoing video meetings. Your annual membership grants access for a year and after the first year, you can renew your membership to stay connected and updated.
