Futures

We are multidisciplinary policy and strategy practitioners. We weave caring and thoughtful future ideas and recommendations. 

The Present

The present day is characterised by precarity. There are multiple crises from climate change to inequality. The past hasn’t created an ideal present. The future needs radical, caring and fairer ideas to be enacted in the present.

A Better Future

There is an important space in policy and strategy research to take a longer term view of what could lie ahead: this sharpens perceptions of the present and improves organisations’ ability to act for the future.

OUR ACTIVITIES

  1. We Mesh 

    Careful Industries has developed a bespoke approach to understanding the future called ‘relational foresight’. This approach shapes how we research the future and who we involve. Our methods are participatory: they seek to involve a range of lived and learnt experience and we combine this with unique foresight activities to ensure that participants can relate in new ways. This meshing process uncovers a potential plurality of futures.

  2. We Design

    We design bespoke participatory and research methods for each client based on their project need and the topic of inquiry. All our workshop and research methods incorporate our relational foresight approach, creating caring and fairer ideas about the future.

  3. We Illuminate

We work with decision makers in government, business, civil society and foundations who face complex strategy, policy, and business questions; our bespoke futures and foresight method allows us to develop innovative and imaginative solutions. We combine our research methodologies to provide impactful recommendations and useful outputs.
