Classification orbits method
The commonly used PESTEL analysis does not always capture the important nuances associated with the present day. Moreover, the division of factors into political, economic, social, technological and environmental is generally useful for describing a company's macroeconomic environment, but does not always work well in describing larger social and economic processes. In the course of the research, we encountered quite a problem. We already ...

Agenda 2040: the next challenges
At the current stage of the project, we have a set of eight mind maps classifying factors based on cause-and-effect relationships. This is the result of internal research and workshops. We are now faced with an attempt to synthesise and systematise this knowledge. It is still working material. We are faced with the challenge of how to create a multifaceted map of relationships to optimally proceed with scenario building. It represents...

The parable of the two (actually three) backpacks
A common misconception is to imagine that predictive research or scenario analysis is an attempt to predict the future. Many people unfamiliar with the subject imagine people dressed in strange costumes, gazing into a glass ball or rearranging cards with gruesome images. Nothing could be further from the truth.

In this way, we completed a series of workshops on the construction of a trend matrix ...

Future developments in the labour market in terms of digitalisation according to young people.
It is obvious to those who have had a connection with scenario planning or, more broadly, with the use of prediction for planning purposes, that we are in fact 'immersed' in the future and that a significant proportion of the decisions that affect it are happening now or have already happened. The problem is that we do not know which of the many possible options, choices, cases,...

This is why we are preparing "Agenda 2040"
The problem, of course, is not just one of offices and the labour market, but of society in general and the wider context of civilisation. The fundamental problem is what optimal measures should be taken right now to prevent a 'digital tsunami'.

"Annie's pets" or a story about what can happen when your pet has a "computer problem"
It is difficult to stand out in the jungle of many promotional materials. However, we think we have succeeded. "Ani's Animals" is a unique children's booklet describing the adventures of three animals in the digital world. The message of this promotional gadget is that beyond the digital world there is the real one, and in it real adventures and friendships. Under...
