BORN PARTNERS | FUTURES WORKS
WHAT FUTURES?
You're a Future-facing leader?
So., should you use:
Future literacy
Strategic foresight
Futures
Futuring
Worldbuilding
Critical design
Strategic imagineering
Call it anyway you like..it does not matter much now.
No point, not very wise, to be sarcastic, Myopic, Short visioned, tunnel visioned..
Just next quarter view, etc.
The life span of your firm depends on it.
Nope, it’s not 'planning', Not a game, or a new wicked AI tool.
Or classic Strategy, or just an abstract vision..
Certainly not the 'Innovation theatre" most companies run.. No disrepect to innovators. The opposite.
(*96% of all innovation efforts yield nothing really worth the investment)
The future of your company, institute, Gov, City, a mall..whatever entity you lead..
any industry, any entity operating in the public sphere, that has a board, advisory council, shareholders, customers, affinity groups, citizens etc,
B2B, B2C, B2B2C...H2H
If you are a CEO, CFO, COO, HR, CMO, Chief Strategy,
Design strategist, Brandmaster..etc..
Or even a Serious agency in 2025..
Do yourself a favor;
Know where you might be heading,
What is your trajectory, your reason to exist in years from now..
your sense of place,
Just play with optional futures.
(In our profession, we have four major/ fundamental types of Future formats to create possible, viable futures, worthy futures.
Futures you can utilise, backwards, rely on,
Forward, now, and in the next visible years, up to 2-5 ( even up to 10+++ in some cases).
Yeah, nobody can predict the future.
No body. not possible, and the future is not linear.
Btw,, there is no future, 0nly futures. Multiple.
But, we can create futures based on factual analysis, science, paradigms, patterns, signals, scenarios, systemic analysis, strategic imagineering, Worldbuilding, and more interesting, cross-disciplinary ways.
We do create really clear tangible & intangible futures. Even future prototypes.
We create evolution. your pace of evolution. Sometimes even revolutions.
We're future storytellers, creators..scientists, designers etc. depending on the project.
We frequently work on Stealth project. Lots of innovation efforts or future plqanning is quite secret,
Especiallyt when new IP is created. So, it's part of our work.
For more details..
Well you know, We're very close.
We can start with a Lecture.
So you can explore more. even understand.
Be good, or, be gone.

Just keeping an eye out for what’s next/new is the easiest part of the job. The true challenge, lies in understanding what it’s trying to tell us and what it is asking of us.

Which version of your brand or organisation will fit your matched and desired future?

discuss and evaluate contextually relevant futures, develop visions and new value sources, discover possible threats, blindspots, and influential ecosystem narratives.
