What is a F:N FORESIGHT venture?
Every year, we sit down and look at building a specialized futureproofing hub of inspiration. On each one of these research ventures, we typically have five elements in place:
I. An Audience Need – a big enough topic that remains unexplored and valuable for our audiences.
II. A Forum for Collaboration – an opportunity to build on current understanding through a global network of passionate and curious experts & opinion leaders.
III. Motivated Partners – sponsors, clients & participating members who have a vested interest in the result.
IV. A Final Report – consolidating insight & foresight into some type of printed/digital report and multimedia assets that all members share.
V. Serendipitous Connections and Side Ventures – when smart interesting people get together around a topic, new shoots of interesting activity are bound to happen.
For those that want to be foresight venture members, here’s what we give and here’s what we get :

The Reason We’re Excited About This…
The freshest insights and best mastery of a topic always happens as a group …
… yes, it may take longer than doing it ourselves but without fail, collective foresight efforts always, always produce better results .
The topics are exciting, our minds are curious and we truly believe we can improve the world’s (and potential clients’) understanding of each topic:
– only 9% of CHROs believe their companies have fully understood the impact of Future of Work (Gartner)
– only 5% of companies have extensively incorporated AI in their offerings or processes (MIT Sloan)
– only 13% of professional sports properties have an integrated digital vision (SEAT)
We are looking forward of getting our visions focused on these frontiers of learnings appropriately enough in the year 2020.
