Future Ground is an immersive experience for senior leadership teams and boards to rehearse the future before it arrives. In the face of climate disruption, technological upheaval, shifting geopolitics, and the wider polycrisis, many organisations are sensing that business-as-usual is no longer enough. Yet the pathways forward can feel unclear, contested, or overwhelming.

Future Ground creates a space where clarity can emerge.

Grounded in the year 2035, this experience invites your team to step into a simulated boardroom conversation set in a future shaped by transformative adaptation, climate breakdown, systemic risk, and profound possibility. From that vantage point, your team reflects on today’s strategy, people, practices, and priorities — discovering what must evolve to meet the future with integrity, resilience, and relevance.

This is not a scenario planning exercise or a workshop on sustainability. It’s a living process that blends strategic foresight, systems thinking, organisational development, and deep facilitation to generate insights and actions that are bold, rooted, and real.

Why Future Ground?

“We are ill-prepared to respond to the gravity of the tsunami that is coming.”

Many of today’s challenges — ecological collapse, shifting supply chains, social unrest, and technological disruption — are not coming someday. They are already here, and accelerating.

Yet few senior teams have the time or space to look beyond immediate priorities. Future Ground gives your organisation that time and space — not to predict the future, but to develop the capabilities needed to stay coherent and adaptive within it.

Whether you’re a purpose-led organisation, family enterprise, public institution, or large corporation, Future Ground helps you navigate with foresight, humility and resolve.

What Happens During a Future Ground Process?

1. Preparation & Alignment

We begin by listening deeply: to you, to your sector, to emerging trends. This stage includes:

  • Co-designing strategic questions and themes relevant to your organisation
  • Interviews with internal and external voices
  • Light research and sensemaking to inform future scenarios
  • Orientation and readiness sessions with your team

2. The 2035 Simulation

We co-host a half-day boardroom or senior leadership meeting as if it were the year 2035. This grounded, provocative experience creates new awareness around:

  • The resilience of your business model
  • Evolving risks and blind spots
  • The leadership and cultural capacities that will be needed
  • How external shifts will reframe internal priorities

3. Review & Integration

We reconvene for a 90-minute reflective session to deepen insight and map forward steps. You will:

  • Identify key areas for adaptation or innovation
  • Clarify what matters most and what needs to shift
  • Reconnect present-day strategy to long-term resilience
  • Sense into what’s yours to lead — and where collaboration is essential

Outcomes You Can Expect

  • Renewed strategic clarity and direction
  • Fresh energy and alignment across senior leaders
  • Better understanding of how to meet complexity with courage
  • Clearer orientation to your sector’s future terrain
  • Prototypes and actions that feel both bold and practical

Future Ground is not a blueprint. It’s a practice space.
A place where disruption meets creativity, where leadership deepens through humility, and where whole systems thinking becomes tangible.

We don’t work in transactional ways. Many of our clients begin with a one-off experience — and over time, we build enduring, trusted relationships that accompany significant transformation. In partnership, we create change that is deeply human, grounded in relationship, and aligned with the vitality of life itself.

Let’s prepare together — not just for what’s coming, but for what’s possible.
