We prepare the workforce for digital disruption and the technological future.

Employees hold the critical keys to unlocking the power of diverse and dynamic innovation in your organization. We help companies empower their employees to anticipate the future and develop mindful innovation together!

Through our interactive programs, employees learn about the development and deployment of emerging technologies across society and their impact on business, digital culture, and the consumer. We challenge them to think critically about the problems we need to solve in the next 3-5 years and how to best use emerging technologies ethically to address these problems.

We do this by delivering meaningful, thought-provoking learning experiences, tools, content and community.

They gain foresight and become more confident and constructive about anticipating the future, they become empowered to solve tech-driven problems and identify opportunities with coworkers — and throughout this process they develop in-demand soft skills (which we call Power Skills).

We turn uncertainty into a superpower.

Change is constant. 

A recent Pew Research survey found that 51% of U.S. adults said they expected their lives to remain changed in major ways even after the pandemic is over. This speed and intensity of change, driven by accelerating technology innovation, can be overwhelming for even the most confident, prepared person.

We help employees (technical and non-technical) to embrace change by exploring the technology-driven problems of tomorrow today. Our engaging and collaborative programs turn workers into pragmatic futurists who not only want to solve problems, but who also become adept at identifying opportunities to innovate and grow.

We’ve been preparing professionals for the post-pandemic world since 2017. Over the years, we have learned first-hand that people don’t just want to learn new technology skills, they want to understand the context and bigger picture behind how innovations will change our world, their work, and their meaning.

The Future as a Service is for companies that want to understand the future
through the eyes of employees!

“In the modern era where work is changing rapidly, we assert that the presence of an interest-gap is just as problematic as a skills gap. When work changes, organizations need people who are interested in what’s changing and must place individuals in front of what’s happening. Even the most highly skilled individuals cannot be motivated enough to tackle change without the right degree of interest. The principal source of this information should be the individual.”

What We Offer

Futureskilling

The success and survival of every company begins and ends with employee engagement.  And with the pandemic accelerating disruptive trends like The Great Resignation and talent wars, employee engagement and retention for the hybrid workforce has become even more critical.

Companies need to have a “future-focused” workforce that maintains current systems while simultaneously preparing for technologies and jobs that do not yet exist but that will be here within 3 years! And managers will need to rally employees around a shared vision of the future that inspires them to embrace the full potential of this profound moment, and the tools at our use. Programs that facilitate continuous learning and builds culture include think tanks, courses and workshops, strategy sessions, informal events with thought-leaders.

With an emphasis on hands-on problem solving, critical thinking, and real world “messy” applications of technology, our courses and workshops are for professionals seeking to understand how disruptive technologies will change their work, how they can prepare for (and maximize opportunities from) these changes, and how to create a strategic roadmap for growth that will keep them ahead of accelerating innovation and lead them into the future confidently and wisely.

Our hybrid employee experience programs give employees the platform, the latest research,  case studies, and tools to explore emerging technologies and their impact on the world in ways that challenge them, inspires them and helps to reveal their talents and interests in technology in their current job and beyond.

Since January 2017, we have been creating and growing innovative futurist communities filled with the most diverse, talented, and  passionate professionals who want to be proactive in tackling the problems of the future.

We now offer companies our expertise in building futurist communities within their own organization (remote and in person) that offer employees a source of continous engagement with colleagues and learning about the disruptive technologies changing our world, while sharpening the skills employers need now (including soft skills like problem-solving, critical thinking and communication). 

Futurist communities can be small, large, about a particular technology, problem or topic. We build the community, create compelling content that will get non-tech and tech employees on the same page and engaged, moderate discussions, and provide insights on what employees want and how they’re thinking about technologies and the future!

Futurist Communities

Executive Advisory

Business leaders are being challenged in ways that, prior to the pandemic, would’ve been considered impossible to imagine. According to research, not only are leaders faced with unprecedented challenges due to the pandemic, their rolls have actually expanded as employees look to them for leadership on issues related to everything from the pandemic to politics and everything in between.

But as challenging as these times are for leaders, there are even more opportunities for current leaders to embrace new models of thinking and management that will catapult their organizations into the future, but now is the time to develop the next generation of leaders.

We offer strategic advisory consulting services for executives, senior managers and next-gen leaders with strategic advisory including bespoke futures research and forecasts, organizational strategic decision-making, nextgen leadership development, technology ethics and rollouts.

After the Tech 2025 event I submitted my idea to the Ohio Opioid Tech Challenge. They liked it enough to make it one of the 40 second place winners (20 experts/20 “citizen scientists”)! I was surprised, to say the least. I just wanted to thank you again for allowing my voice to be heard. Honestly, this wouldn’t have been even remotely possible without you and the Tech 2025 platform! Tech 2025 has changed my life in so many ways!

The participants truly enjoyed all the information Tech 2025 shared! We had a net promoter score of 98% from survey respondents. Here's what one of the participants said on the survey: "This was by far one of the best workshops I have ever attended and that does state quite a lot about the quality of this seminar. It was information packed, uplifting and provided guidance for the future. I look forward to more seminars like this one!"

I met you guys and learned so much about the future of tech and how I can be involved with the movement. I was truly inspired by the entire day! Thank you for the information and inspiration!

I’ve attended three events so far and find them fascinating. What you're is doing is great. Everyone should be aware of this. I always leave with a bigger worldview than when I arrive and thinking differently.
David Jones

We had a great time at the event and really appreciate you allowing us to join. We took a lot from it and were able to generate some new ideas for our own product surrounding chatbots!
