Futures for Innovation

Innovation begins by asking better questions—not just about what's possible, but about what's necessary.

In a world brimming with futures decks, trend reports, and glossy visions of what's next, we want to offer something more grounded. Something more useful. So we built Futures for Innovation—a free guide that flips traditional foresight on its head.

Instead of starting with big ideas and hoping they lead to action, we start with one clear question: What future problems are you uniquely positioned to solve?

Why This Guide Now?

Most foresight work lives in the realm of possibility. That has its place. But in our experience—inside large corporations, public sector labs, and creative teams alike—leaders need more than possibilities. They need decision-making tools. Strategic clarity. A way to see through the noise and focus on what matters.

That’s what this guide is for.

Whether your team is running a full-scale innovation pipeline or just beginning to explore strategic foresight, Futures for Innovation helps you build a meaningful, repeatable process to:

✅ Define clear innovation topics that guide strategic focus
✅ Build internal foresight capacity without heavy overhead
✅ Separate signals from hype and align around future-relevant problem spaces
✅ Move from futures thinking to near-term innovation choices

Who It’s For

This guide is for innovation leaders, strategy heads, foresight teams, and anyone tasked with navigating uncertainty inside an organization. It’s designed to be used—lightweight, flexible, and scalable.

It includes facilitation tips, research methods, community-building steps, and a full walkthrough of the Innovation + Foresight Cycle.
