Design methodology for winning audience hearts and minds
We uncover spoken and unspoken client challenges and objectives through qualitative briefings and quantitative market research and analysis.
Our team of researchers and analysts decode both your industry trends and broader anti-disciplinary future signals.

There is an art and a science to the design of world-class keynotes, and at this stage, Anders crafts a tailored future odyssey based on your briefs and his foresight.
While a keynote should inspire and be thought-provoking, you are not seeking to alienate or offend, which is why Anders presents a final draft of his keynote via web conference for brand and message alignment 1 week out from your event.
As a futurist, Anders is also a humanist story-teller and weaves together a future narrative that delivers avant-garde ideas which expand minds and inspire a change of heart on your audience’s personal heroes' journeys into Tomorrowland.
While the infotainment on stage can set transformation in motion and future ideas live on with your audience, so can Anders. Anders will happily socialise with your audience and partners, stay for book signings, share his slides & research foresights and embed a video conference with select audience members post-event to continue the innovation agenda.
