Do you have the need to zoom out to see which developments might impact your organization now or in the near future? With our TrendLabs, we offer you interactive group sessions in which our researchers and strategists present you the latest technological, geopolitical and sociocultural trends based on our transdisciplinary research. Through interactive methods, ranging from Socratic dialogues to World Cafés, we will help you translate these macrotrends into meaningful insights for your organization's strategy.

Is your organization's strategy burdened by great uncertainty? Is there a big what-if you would like to explore? In these situations we recommend making use of our ScenarioLabs.

A ScenarioLab is a good follow-up after a TrendLab as it allows you to explore different uncertain outcomes of the most relevant trends.
