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. Based on our research, we will carefully select dimensions of uncertainty, and through our co-creative and speculative methods, you will—under our strategists' guidance—develop your own future scenarios. A ScenarioLab is a good follow-up after a TrendLab as it allows you to explore different uncertain outcomes of the most relevant trends.

Do you have a future-oriented research question that deals with great uncertainty and complexity? Our researchers would love to weigh into the endeavor. With a background in qualitative and quantitative research, speculative design and transdisciplinarity, we can deliver in-depth research reports.

Are you struggling with complicated and wicked policy and/or business challenges related to societal wellbeing? If so, we organize co-creative workshops specifically geared towards transition-related, multi-stakeholder questions called TransitionLabs. Our approach leverages the powerful Deep Transitions Framework as a theoretical lens to help you guide your endeavors. Through interactive methodologies like stakeholder roleplaying, the transition canvas and the wheel of reasoning, we assist businesses, government and civil society organizations in navigating the complexities surrounding societal wellbeing.

Are you impressed by the capabilities of generative AI, yet wondering how it can add value to your organization? Designed for forward-thinking professionals, our interactive AI-Labs demystify AI and identify its practical applications and pitfalls. We explain the basics of generative AI, discuss the state of the art in your sector, and develop a realistic outlook of future possibilities. During an AI-Lab, we blend strategy-oriented presentations and group discussions with hands-on exercises using leading AI tools.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Mitigate the risk of groupthink and find your organization’s weak spots by letting our strategists test your assumptions. While playing the role of a mindful adversary, we will confront you with alternative perspectives and unexplored scenarios with the aim to develop a more resilient strategy.

Gain a deeper understanding of a wide range of topics through engaging talks and familiarize yourselves with the implications of technological disruptions, the rise of non-Western superpowers, and the future of society to name a few. By means of a philosophical lens, our researchers’ lectures convey a fresh and distinctive interpretation of prevailing global developments and trends.

This course delves into the philosophical and technical foundations of digital technology to help policymakers and strategists understand how digital technology impacts their domain. Furthermore, it provides various analytical and ideation tools to collectively build speculative scenarios that we can use to navigate the uncertainty of the digital future. It consists of lectures, workshops and assignments, resulting in a library of ideas and publications that will help you realize your preferred digital future.
