About This Project

Developing futures literacy and scenario creation

We have led projects applying scenarios, trends analysis, and horizon scanning for local public service clients including the development of a 30-year vision for Milton Keynes, and several studies exploring the future of public libraries.

We are founder members of an international consortium which has created and now runs a futures and strategy course aimed at senior managers across the public, commercial, and non-government sectors. The course teaches practical methods for strategy development based on futures and scenarios methods. The course is in its tenth year with close to 100 alumni.

Across all our work we design our projects to transfer skills and knowledge about our futures methods to clients and their stakeholders. We help clients understand how evidence-informed scenarios are produced, what they represent, and how to use them.

Shared Intelligence is an approved supplier on the BEIS futures framework which is open to almost all UK public sector bodies including Government departments, local authorities, and public agencies.
