THINK TANK FOR FUTURE STUDIES

How to act in the fragile society

The corona crisis has called many things into question that we used to see as natural. With it, a completely new stage of development has begun, which we call the “Fragile Society”. We see it as our task to research and deduce the laws of this new stage of development, what development trends are associated with it and how they can be anticipated.

Financial and economic practice and scientific methods of futurology

Our research work has direct practical relevance both in terms of methods and exploitation. In a way that has not been customary until now, we combine many years of national and international experience in the financial and business world with entrepreneurship and scientific methods. This is what the team of our two directors stands for.

Rethinking financial and economic practice with futurology as a whole concept

We want to rethink the relationship between opportunity and risk. Crises will continue to occur in the future. Practice and research should provide impulses as to which opportunities arise from our actions and which crises we have to expect.

Communicate results in an understandable and action-oriented manner

What good is the most interesting research if nobody understands and takes up the results. The books we have written so far, clearly show our abilities. The same applies to the large number of lectures we have given as keynote speakers, in training sessions and consulting for companies, administration, politics and individuals. Some of our books are bestsellers.

Services

What does THINK TANK FOR FUTURE STUDIES offer?

Action proposals for the fragile society

Studies

We investigate future developments in companies and industries and develop scenarios for practical application. Particular attention is paid to the consequences of the current crisis, ways to overcome it and the resulting opportunities.

Lectures

We do not gloss over anything but we also do not dramatise unnecessarily. Especially in times of crisis, we provide scientifically proven basic information on the respective topic together with realistic scenarios of future developments, in which we emphasise the opportunities of the future!

Consulting & Seminars

We offer seminars and individual (process) consulting for direct exchange.  The basis for both offers is our practical experience in the world of business and finance as well as the results from the futurology field.

Information & Networking

Sharing knowledge is an important concern for us. For this purpose, we write specialised books and publish a newsletter on a regular basis. Furthermore, we offer opportunities for communication within our community.
