The Future Intelligence Methodology
Competitive Futures has a unique approach to strategic management. We are likely the only consultancy in the world to combine the disciplines of short-term competitive analysis with future trend forecasting. We call this methodology future intelligence.
Why study the future as well as the present?

Organizations need time to restructure in order to react properly to threats and opportunity. Market analysts must then constantly be scanning the horizon for large strategic trends that will unfold in the coming 5 – 20 years.  These insights imply potential operational changes in the coming 1 – 5 years, which must be acted on today in order to result in profit in the coming years.

The STEEP Metholodology

The key underpinning our work is the notion of superconnection. The recent financial crisis has shown that industries and events do not exist in isolation, but are connected in a complex global web. Leaders at all levels must look beyond their industry and into the future to understand the shifts that are occuring, and to act today.

Through the systematic analysis of trends in society, technology, economics, ecology and politics, we put current decisions in the context of broader changes. Though our clients may be engaged in very specialized enterprises, we bring them a variety of trends and their implications in subjects as diverse as finance, ecology, the family, telecommunications, agriculture, politics, and much more.

The result is managerial decisions that are smarter, more sustainable, and more profitable.

The video below will explore how our combination of competitive intelligence and forecasting helps guarantee growth and profitability in the years to come.
