Foresight Consulting
I help organizations envision possible futures 5, 10, or 20 years into the future, and assist them in identifying action steps they should consider taking today to reach a future they most desire. I also assist corporate and marketing communications professionals in communicating a vision for the future. As part of this process, I offer:
- Scanning for changes that will have a significant impact on an organization
- Conducting interviews with an organization’s leaders, employees, investors, customers and other stakeholders to gain insights about how these people see the organization within the future
- Developing scenarios that help organizations envision possible futures
- Collaborating with organizations to identify a preferred future
- Identifying action steps to take now and in the near future to obtain a desired or preferred future.

I conduct qualitative research based on in-depth interviews with key stakeholders (employees, customers, donors, investors, government regulators, and other influentials) to help your organization better understand how stakeholders:

Brand Identity
Understanding who your brand is, what it stands for, the value it delivers, and how to express it to stakeholders (employees, distributors, regulators, customers) is essential to any organization’s marketing and communications efforts.

I offer half-day and one-day sessions where I work with you or your team to develop ideas and outline action steps that can help your organization fuel marketing momentum, address key issues, figure out how to take advantage of an upcoming opportunity, and overcome challenges that are preventing your organization from reaching its goals and potential.
