OUR PROJECTS.
Our work is organised on the basis of a series of projects. Each project has an initial brief and works towards a distinct set of deliverables. Participants are then recruited to the project to help deliver it. All of our work is destined for the public domain. Links to the published work can be found on our publications page.
The Suffolk Small Business Project

This is an inductive scenario project looking at US foreign policy futures, at the grand strategic level, out to the year 2025.

This is an investigative project that examines how the architecture of globalisation not only enhances the legitimate economy, but also the illicit economy as well, and how these developments might evolve in the future. The project is being undertaken as a collaboration. The project started in July 2007 and reported at the World Future Society conference in July 2008.

environment might be like. The project started in July 2008 and is currently on-

As a follow on to the project on the Age of Scarcity, we have started to examine what the Post Scarcity World might look like. The significance of this period is that it will be at this time that the adverse effects of climate change will start to shape human endeavour. The project is being undertaken as a collaboration. The project started in July 2008 and reported at the World Future Society conference in July 2009.

A History Of The Next Ten Years
Many believe that the recent recession has heralded a new era in our social, economic, and political development. If they are right, then the next decade could well be critical to our development over the rest of this Century. In many ways, the course of the next ten years is already apparent. Using the tools of professional futurists, the shape of the coming decade has taken form. The purpose of this programme is to outline how this form may develop. The project started in September 2010 and reported at the World Future Society conference in July 2011.
