foresight insights
Breakthrough research in narrative or gamified formats.
what is foresight?
The language of the future, spoken through empathy.
By walking a mile in future citizens’ shoes, organizations are better equipped to anticipate and be resilient to disruption.
Foresight work can be:
Focal issue research reports - robust insights across social, technological, environmental, economic, and political trends that will impact the future of your organization
Gamified futures immersion workshop - Practical patterns presented in a playful and interactive online or in-person setting.
Scenario writing - a suite of 3,000+ word narratives set in the future, driving current-day decisions.
Why foresight?
As a futurist, I make sense of the larger patterns emerging from today’s quantitative and qualitative pulse.
No need to fear AI, pandemics, or climate change if you have someone on your team who can anticipate their future impact on your business model.
Sustainability is interconnected and multi-faceted. The incoming Gen Z workforce expects more from leadership.
I help develop your internal foresight capacity so everywhere you look, you see the future. I deliver the future to your door so there’s no need to hunt down the most critical insights.

Ash Bowers
Founder, Strategic Foresight Practitioner
I claim my agency as a business owner with great responsibility. I believe everyone is creative, and my strategic work focuses on this realization. Minds never cease to game out decisions and consider the consequences across different scenario outcomes. When we are conscious of our innate creativity, magic unfolds.
As a trained foresight consultant and designer, I facilitate workshops for teams to engage with a changemaking process. I leverage well-known frameworks to align teams on their vision, culture, and communication. I design team building experiences through direct facilitation sessions, or asynchronous collaboration tools.
