Foresight First
We help our clients become the first to understand the future.
Bring the future into today—with expert-led foresight, ecosystem mapping, and rapid prototyping. We begin where others stop—at the frontier of what’s next.
Strategic foresight & scenario-making
A high-impact advisory function bringing together world-class futurists, entrepreneurs, and technologists to shape commercially viable visions of the future. Designed to help leadership teams anticipate market shifts, align on direction, and position early in fast-emerging sectors.
Ecosystem leadership & transformation frameworks
Structured, executive-level workshops that blend behavioural insights, systems thinking, and design strategy to identify new areas for growth. These frameworks reveal hidden value within your current ecosystem and highlight where to lead next.
Rapid prototyping of preferred futures
We help leadership teams move quickly from strategic vision to tangible outcomes, turning “next-decade” ideas into proof-of-concept pilots within weeks. Use this to de-risk innovation, validate future-facing offerings, and unlock new business models early.

proof driven
We help our clients be the first to adapt to the future.
Turn insights into impact —designing, de-risking, testing, and validating new product, service, and platform ideas. Every idea ends in a prototype, not a PowerPoint.
Concept & proposition design
We co-create future-ready products, services, and business models—shaped by customer needs, market dynamics, and emerging tech. The result: integrated offerings designed for long-term relevance and competitive edge.
Hands-on prototyping and tooling
From rapid digital builds to physical MVPs, we turn concepts into working solutions—stress-tested for technical feasibility, user desirability, and commercial potential. Ideal for de-risking early innovation bets.
Pilot programmes & proof-of-value
End-to-end design and delivery of pilots that prove value before scaling. We measure strategic impact—commercial ROI, stakeholder traction, and ecosystem fit—to support confident investment decisions.
Innovation sprints & hackathons
Time-boxed, high-intensity sprints that bring together global talent to solve priority challenges. Used by leaders at EY, Dubai Airports, and Global DevSlam to fast-track innovation pipelines and uncover breakthrough ideas.
