Foresight Cube

What is the Foresight Cube?

Discover the future topics of applied research and revolutionize your strategic decision-making with the Foresight Cube – an immersive designed room that helps you to better understand the future, plan ahead and prepare accordingly.

The concept of the Foresight Cube is based on the understanding of physical space as an innovative method. This space is designed to enable you to cross the boundary between the present and the futures in order to be directly confronted with adaptive future scenarios. The Foresight Cube combines advanced technologies, coordinated methods, scientific analysis and interactive design to immerse you in the process of strategic foresight. Every step of the foresight process is aligned with the room's equipment, which intensifies the results and allows the consequences of decisions or possible future scenarios to be experienced with all the senses.

 

Who can benefit from working with the Foresight Cube?

Businesses: Respond proactively to market changes, identify growth opportunities and develop sustainable business strategies.

Government agencies: Enhance national security strategies, anticipate new threats and optimize resource allocation.

What makes the Foresight Cube stand out?

Science-based decision support

Make decisions based on data and analytics. The Foresight Cube integrates real-time data, trends and insights to help you make informed and forward-looking decisions. Our room set-up and applied methodology are subject to constant scientific analysis and refinement so that we can always keep you up to date and provide you with effective support.

 

Strategic planning made tangible 

Make strategic planning a tangible, hands-on experience. Manipulate virtual elements with touch controls, jot down ideas on a virtual whiteboard and actively participate in developing future scenarios. Use modern techniques such as 3D printing to create instant ‘take-home’ results and sustain the benefits of your experience.

 

Dynamic collaboration

Encourage lively collaboration. Interact with your team, customers or partners in a shared, technology-supported space to create ideas and design innovative solutions. Break away from the usual role allocation and discover new potential for your company as a group.

 

Virtual Reality (VR)

Explore future scenarios in a three-dimensional, immersive VR environment. Cutting-edge technology puts participants in the middle of the potential challenges and opportunities of the future. Break out of the rigid framework of everyday work and focus on innovative and sustainable solutions for the future of your company.
