Change is the only constant.
Complexity is the new normal.
In the face of accelerating disruption, traditional strategy tools often fall short. Businesses need ways to make sense of change, and act on it, if they want to grow and thrive.
We help science-driven businesses and research spin-offs use strategic foresight, participatory futures, and interactive workshops to explore possible futures, challenge assumptions, and align teams around bold, future-thinking action.
We don’t have a time machine, but we do have proven tools to help you get future-fit.
What we offer
We help science-led businesses and research spin-offs across Europe use futures and foresight to anticipate disruption, unlock innovation, and take confident action in uncertain times.

Who we help
We work with small-to-mid-sized, science-based businesses and research spin-offs across Europe, typically those with multi-cultural teams and a shared language of English.
We work closely with:
- Founders and senior leaders looking for fresh ways to think strategically
- Team leads in innovation, product, or sustainability ready to spot what’s coming next
- Growing organisations navigating complex change and keen to build future-ready capacity
Many of our clients are navigating fast growth, rising complexity, and shifting expectations. They turn to us when they want to:
- Escape short-term firefighting and step into long-term thinking
- Align teams around shared priorities and future-fit strategy
- Use foresight to support innovation, transformation, or sustainability goals
And because we’re certain that hopeful, sustainable futures are possible, we also occasionally work with universities, research groups, NGOs, and civil society organisations on futures projects that serve the public good.
Wondering if this is the right approach for your team?
Our clients work in sectors like climate tech, medtech, deep tech, and applied research, where anticipation is critical and innovation is fast-moving.

Who we've helped
Relationships matter to us. Over the years, we've worked with brilliant, ambitious organisations, research groups, and forward-thinking teams across Europe, from global NGOs and universities to design-led manufacturers and early-stage spin-offs. Many are still our clients. And some have had nice things to say about our work and our approach.
Suzanne ranks in the top 3% of experts that I have ever met. She is smart, sharp, professional, insightful and delivers great results. I have worked with her as a colleague and on my own business projects. She understands all aspects of futures, storytelling and communication, and is one of the first people I seek to consult and involve in all my projects. She is outstanding. If you get a chance to work with her, then do.
Curious if we’re a good fit for you?
The people, groups and organisations that we work with know that change is constant, are curious about possible futures, and want to use the future to shape the present. Does that describe you?

Foresight is not about predicting the future. As the saying goes: forewarned is forearmed. Foresight is about identifying possible futures, minimising risk and surprise, spotting opportunities, and working out what role you have in shaping the future.
