Join the Strategic Foresight & Futures Community!
Remember the year 2020?
How did your organization adapt when COVID-19 hit?
What if a new viral pandemic develops in the next decade?
What if half of our colleagues can’t come to work due to some extreme weather event?
What if our supply chain is disrupted because of geopolitical tensions?
What if the grid goes down - how long can we cope?
What will an aging population mean for our company?
Can Artificial Intelligence disrupt our market?
What will global trade look like in the future?
How will my profession be different with everything that’s going on...?
What if we keep doing business-as-usual: will we be alright the next decade?
What if... and what next?
These are great questions to ask!
But don’t let them keep you up at night. Learn to navigate these issues now.
Uncertainty is the only certainty, and change is the only constant.
If we learn to navigate uncertainty and change – we can be ready for anything.
That’s why we host the Strategic Foresight & Futures Community.
It’s like they say: Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.
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 are doing the same as yesterday. That is risky!
If you do anticipate and prepare for change, the research (Aarhus BSS Strategic Foresight Research Network) shows that future-prepared organizations are 33% more profitable than the average. Not only do they do better in the possible futures, but also in the present. They are alert and adapt if necessary.
That matters a lot, if we want to transition through the coming systemic change without too much damage.
We need our organizations, families, and communities to anticipate possible changes. So that we become resilient and, together, develop a livable future.
Nice to meet you! We are Marcella Bremer and Marcel Lamers, and we’ve been helping people and organizations change for over 25 years, onsite and online globally.
We help people and organizations anticipate possible futures and help them change to become resilient and successful.
Do you want to anticipate the possible futures?
What is the Strategic Foresight & Futures community?
We know that you’re busy. That’s why we summarized the needed theories and tools in over 30 short videos and downloads. This is a practical, interactive learning journey around 8 topics:
- Understanding the present
- Futures thinking
- Scanning and understanding
- Systems and change
- Creating scenarios
- From scenarios to strategy
- Resilience and preparation
- Consulting and facilitation
A little can go a long way… Just watch a video every two weeks, or every two days – it’s up to you. We offer you access for a year so that you have time to apply what you learn.
Live calls
We host interactive live video calls where we share experiences, ask and answer questions, learn, and work together. We focus on applying theories and tools to real situations: that is the hardest part.
Imagine how you can be prepared for all kinds of scenarios, one year from now!
You will have less stress. Mental and practical preparation helps to navigate unexpected change and will make your (client’s) organization more successful: both in the future and today.
SME & Consultants
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) can be more flexible than large corporations, but they often lack a Strategic Foresight team. Our Strategic Foresight & Futures Community can help – we are your external Strategic Foresight department.
Self-employed consultants don’t have to work alone anymore, but find a sounding board in our community.
All other professionals are also welcome!
Knowledge & Support
More people know more. No futurist can predict the future, but with many different perspectives, we can discern more possibilities. More people support each other with practical examples, moving from insights to taking action and motivating each other to keep going.
This community is for you:
- If you are new to Strategic Foresight and Futures thinking.
- If you could use more colleagues on Foresight.
- If you want to have reliable updates and support.
- If you like to engage with others to tap into our collective intelligence.
- If you want to prepare for possible futures and/or help your clients do so.
- If you want to develop resilience, both organizational and personal.
- If you want to develop consulting and facilitation skills - skills that we need for all interactions with others.
Join the Foresight & Futures community and get:
- 12 months' access to over 30 videos on Futures models, tools, megatrends, and more.
- 25 downloadable resources/summary sheets (regularly updated and added).
- 20 live video calls about applying what you learn, working in breakout groups, and learning together.
- Ongoing peer support in the private community.
- The more you engage the more you get out of this group!
Bonus for the first 20 members:
- Access to the Positive Culture Academy, filled with videos and exercises to develop a positive organization!
The first 20 members pay 900 Euros for annual access to our videos, downloads, links to curated resources, updates, and live video calls to work with us.
The next 20 members pay 1200 Euros.
When the community grows, our collective intelligence increases.
The price will be automatically converted to USD for everyone outside the European Union. For instance, depending on the conversion rate, 1 Euro can equal 1.18 USD. In that case, 900 Euros equals 1062 USD.
What matters is not just the price but what this year of working on futures thinking and Strategic Foresight will mean for you and your organization.
One year from today:
- Your (client’s) organization can be prepared for all kinds of scenarios.
- You may have adjusted and future-proofed your strategy.
- Or your organization has developed an innovative service based on future opportunities.
- Maybe you have protected your assets against climate change and other contingencies.
This will be valuable for your private life as well. You’ll see more options for what is possible and how to prepare for anything. Help your family and community anticipate and change. Let’s co-create a future where we want to live and work.
On the other hand, if you just keep busy with the present, where will you be one year from now having done nothing to anticipate and prepare for possible futures? Remember, even a little can go a long way.
Join us – we are looking forward to working with you toward a future where we want to live and work.

Boost your organization’s change skills, future-preparedness, resilience, and success with the Strategic Foresight & Futures community.
This community helps consultants, and small to medium organizations without a Foresight team.
No one and no organization can do it alone, but together we can navigate the coming transitions and change as needed.
