The Future of Human Rights
Using "The Future" as a safe place to discuss a difficult issue, Outsights brought together a leading human rights NGO with a major multinational to develop scenarios for the future of human rights.
Industry Summit
For the past eight years Outsights has facilitated the annual summits of a major global industry association, helping to define and prioritise areas for collective action. Improved common understanding of external driving forces of change has been the basis for action and resource allocation. Further work at global and country level sustains the action phase.
Finding Common Ground Between Business and NGOs
An energy multinational and a human rights group engaged Outsights to facilitate an intensive “safe house” workshop to reach a better understanding of their different and common views. A series of scenarios were created, providing a backdrop for thinking about their future challenges and changing relationship.
Enabling action in a rapidly changing environment
An industry association struggling to keep pace with medical advances affecting its "Best Practices" needed to find a way to deal with these issues whilst retaining consumer confidence. Outsights facilitation ensured a clear understanding of the issues in a wide context, established the pros and cons of the approaches and worked with the organisation to develop a plan for the next steps to take.
Engaging key businesses across a region
A global industry association needed to create a higher level of engagement amongst members to discuss the critical issues developing for the industry, identify policy and industry issues and a way forward. Acting as a sounding board, Outsights developed a compelling case for the meeting and worked with the team to distil the key messages and conclusions and create a structured plan for moving forward.
Challenging existing assumptions
To open up and challenge the thinking of executives in the communications industry, Outsights used its Drivers of Change Presentation to take conference participants through a rapid survey of the key drivers of future change, including demographic shifts, new science and technology, climate change, and intellectual property.
Using the future to fuel action
Not-for-profit organisations from across the world met to discuss how best to work together to bring about policy advances that would help achieve the Millennium Development Goals. Outsights presented the four scenarios of the Reaching the Very Poorest project to get delegates thinking about developing ideas and action points, given the insights into the future.
