Our process is based upon Strategic Foresight—a proven method of uncovering the threads of current events that may impact our future, identifying how those threads play out over time through scenarios, and then looking back (or “backcasting”) to understand what needs to change today and tomorrow to positively impact our communities 20 years hence.
