"Partnering with the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies is a strategic move to challenge our pre-existing assumptions and bring in trusted external expertise in both the 'what' and the 'how.’"

Strategic Foresight Sparring

Organisations with a structured approach to strategic foresight outperform organisations without, who do not prepare for an increasingly uncertain future.

We provide continuous, actionable research through:
  • Ongoing sparring with CIFS foresight experts, leveraging the experience of CIFS' advisors on foresight methods, and drawing on their extensive experience across various industries.
  • A peer-to-peer network where practitioners can engage in sparring sessions to understand how the role of foresight is evolving through shared experiences.
  • Our Foresight Maturity Survey provides insights into how well-aligned your strategy, foresight needs, and foresight capabilities are.

Next-Level Upgrades

Many organisations do not know where to start when it comes to working effectively with the future. Together, we identify where strategic foresight can make the biggest difference in your organisation through:

1) One tailor-made presentation about a topic of your choice OR 2) Two course seats on one of our popular courses

+ 10% discount on the first DKK 200.000 in project spending

How We Work with Foresight

Learn more about our principles when working with strategic foresight in organisations. We have a long history and proven track-record of working with corporations and organisations worldwide, applying strategic foresight to specific societal and business challenges.

We have compiled and refined the principles from our own extensive experience, as well as drawn inspiration from other thinkers and practitioners within the field. Organisations with a culture of strategic foresight perform fare better then those who do not apply futures thinking on a regular basis.
