Futures Workshops, Events & Forums

Creating space to think ahead

Our futures workshops, events, and forums are designed to help organisations step beyond immediate pressures and think clearly about what comes next.

They create the space to explore the next five to ten years, using strategic foresight, co-creation, and carefully designed experiences to turn emerging signals into meaningful direction. These are not abstract conversations about the future, but practical, engaging sessions that help teams imagine, test, and shape what lies ahead.

From insight to action

Our workshops are built to move thinking forward, not simply to inform.

Unlike traditional trend presentations or passive briefings, our approach is interactive and outcome-led. We combine futures thinking with human-centred design, bespoke tools, and structured co-creation to help teams interpret change and decide how to respond.

The focus is always on application. Sessions are designed to generate shared understanding, challenge assumptions, and translate insight into strategic roadmaps, priorities, and next steps that continue to shape decision-making long after the session ends.

Creating room for collective thinking

We design and deliver futures workshops, events, and forums across virtual, in-person, and hybrid formats.

Each session is carefully tailored to the brief, audience, and context. Programmes typically combine immersive exercises, collaborative discussion, and thought-provoking content, often enriched by contributions from visionary experts, entrepreneurs, and practitioners working at the edges of their fields.

Themes explored regularly include cultural and consumer shifts, AI and technology futures, sustainability, retail and hospitality evolution, wellness, and the future of work. The agenda, tools, and outputs are always shaped around the specific questions the organisation is trying to answer.

A different way of working

Our work is founder-led, bespoke, and grounded in first principles.

We operate at a boutique scale, but with enterprise-level impact. Every workshop is designed from scratch, drawing on deep domain expertise across retail, wellness, consumer culture, and innovation. We combine foresight with creative execution, ensuring ideas are not only explored but activated.

What sets us apart is our ability to carry work through the full cycle, from futures thinking and strategy to brand, experience, and real-world application. This ensures workshops lead to tangible outcomes rather than isolated moments of inspiration.

Partners shaping what’s next

Our futures workshops support ambitious brands, innovation teams, and transformation leaders who need clarity, alignment, and momentum.

We have worked with organisations including Holland & Barrett, Tapestry Group (Including Coach and Kate Spade), Adidas, Vans, British Airways, and Boots, helping teams unlock new thinking around product, brand, experience, and future opportunity.

Our events and forums have also featured perspectives from organisations such as IKEA, Atelier 100, Space 10, and Deploy London, bringing diverse viewpoints into strategic conversation.

Across our case studies, workshops have led to outcomes such as clarified future positioning, new innovation pipelines, strengthened internal alignment, and renewed confidence in long-term strategy.
