Our Values
We want to create impact. We do this by challenging existing mental models and pushing others to the edge of plausibility. Our favorite question to ask clients is "can you be more ambitious in your thinking?"
-
Curiosity. We confront our own cherished beliefs continuously and we guide those we work with to do the same.
-
Learning. We are always learning, recalibrating, improving.
-
Evangelizing. We communicate the value of strategic foresight, engage others in using it, and teach those who want to learn.
-
Discipline. We do everything required to conduct excellent research, produce exceptional work and to meet our deadlines.
-
Empathy. We work hard to understand our coworkers, people, our clients and their fears, difficulties and desire/ resistance to changing the future.

Our Logo
Our logo was developed by Emily Caufield, the Institute’s Creative Director, and her idea was to communicate two core concepts: who we are and the mission of the Institute.
Inside the box are a set of circles and rectangles, which might seem interchangeable at first. However, if you look closely starting from the left, you’ll see the letters F T I. Together, those letters form an ideogram representing the notion that the future is very much intertwined with what we are all doing today.
