What might the "9/11" moments of the future be, after this recession? At the recent Cabinet Office Lunchtime Series, Outsights Partner Richard O'Brien identified the Anti-Poverty, Anti-Globalisation and Green movements as being possible catalysts for future change in his speech, Constraints, Drivers and Catalysts for the 21st Century. Future speeches are proving popular in helping diverse organisations - from the European Association of Communication Directors to private sector companies - look past the recession to what's coming next. Please do contact us to have futures thinking at your conference or meeting.

We're at a critical point where fundamental drivers of change and the rules of doing business can change quite rapidly. Outsights has kicked off a programme with future leaders in the private, public and Third sectors to spot the Next Revolution, identifying new models and winners that will emerge from the current downturn. Will there be a move towards mass social networking, a new sense of identity, or the decentralisation of production? To take part in the debate, please contact Alasdair (alasdair@outsights.co.uk), which takes just five minutes. Read more about the three contenders for the Next Revolution.

Many organisations are using the Future Economy Scenarios to have a strategic conversation - in conferences, board away-days, and workshops - about their position now and after the recession, read some case studies here. The Scenarios can be tailored for organisations to test strategy, open up thinking about the future, or even input into your strategic plan. For a commitment-free discussion about the Scenarios, please get in touch.
