Consulting
Changeist engages with a wide range of clients, from technology companies to large consumer brands to design and branding agencies to non-profits and NGOs to explore possible futures and their impact on people and practices.
Below is a sample of the consulting services Changeist can provide:
Research:
- Horizon scanning—Primary and secondary exploration of social and technology horizons to detect, capture and make sense of weak signals of change.
- Ethnographic futures—Studying the lives and behaviors of people, one can find important signals hidden in daily actions and interactions which can act as critical waypoints to the future.
- Innovation scouting—Probing into the early-stage development thinking of organizations who themselves are reading the landscape, uncovering major trends and weak signals that entrepreneurs, designers, R&D groups, academic institutions, and strategic insights teams are sensing and prototyping around.
- Strategic Advisory—Defining objectives and creating pathways in complex, noisy and turbulent environments, from identifying and capturing emerging issues, trends and threats to assessing risk and opportunity, to pathfinding and prototyping experiences, environments or strategies.
- Scenarios—Create provocative scenarios bringing life to possible futures, exploring critical uncertainties and delving into the possible interplay of emerging trends.
- Workshops—Creative workshops ranging from a few hours to a few days, to first introduce new ideas, trends and dynamics about the future, then lead groups through future-building, helping them create new worlds and opportunity spaces, and shape solutions that meet the needs of these spaces. See more about workshops here.
- Expeditions—Immersive expeditions to expose client teams to places and situations where the future is unfolding today. Mixing media with direct, in-person sensing of emerging trends, an expert team helps you move across laboratories, cities, and cultures to gain new perspectives and forge new ideas based on these experiences.
- Learning tools—Development of both analog and digital tools for learning and interacting more deeply with critical future issues, ased on experiences with dozens of workshops and hundreds of topics and insights.
