Our Process

The process moves from understanding the past to making sense of the present, to mapping and imagining what the future could look like, and finally, to action in building your preferred future. With the clarity created, you will understand how to best utilize available resources and create the momentum needed to carry out your action plan. With significant change comes significant outcomes.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1638022931418{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1638220099552{padding-right: 60px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”PARTICIPANTS” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:30px|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” css=”.vc_custom_1638029986301{background-color: #2db3c4 !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1638220091191{padding-right: 60px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”INPUT” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:30px|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” css=”.vc_custom_1638030106063{background-color: #2db3c4 !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1638220082193{padding-right: 60px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”OUPUT” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:30px|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” css=”.vc_custom_1638030116805{background-color: #2db3c4 !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ enable_column_shadowbox=”yes” column_box_shadow=”%5B%7B%22x_offset%22%3A%2223%22%2C%22y_offset%22%3A%2223%22%2C%22blur_radius%22%3A%2211%22%2C%22spread_radius%22%3A%2223%22%2C%22shadow_color%22%3A%22rgb(0%2C%200%2C%200)%22%7D%5D”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1638030060783{border-top-width: 0.3px !important;border-right-width: 0.3px !important;border-bottom-width: 0.3px !important;border-left-width: 0.3px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;background-color: #efefef !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}” el_class=”box-shadow”]

Foresight is not about predicting the future. Rather, it is about imagining and mapping many different futures: positive futures, negatives futures, weird futures, and amazing futures. Before any planning cycle, foresight helps us to refocus on the possibility rather than the constraint.

Futures or foresight practice involves amplified strategic planning to navigate these possible futures – to increase the probability of guiding toward desired futures and decrease the probability of guiding away from undesirable futures.[/ld_fancy_heading][/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-6″][ld_images_group_container margin=”bottom_small:0px”][ld_images_group_element img_size=”470×600″ enable_effects=”yes” enable_reveal=”yes” reveal_direction=”rl” image=”9552″ reveal_color=”rgb(23, 37, 49)” margin=”top_large:0px|top_small:30px|bottom_small:0px”][/ld_images_group_element][/ld_images_group_container][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1587643600753{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-md-6″ css=”.vc_custom_1638219304486{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”9032″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_rounded”][/vc_column][vc_column enable_content_animation=”yes” ca_init_scale_x=”1″ ca_init_scale_y=”1″ ca_init_scale_z=”1″ ca_init_opacity=”0″ ca_an_scale_x=”1″ ca_an_scale_y=”1″ ca_an_scale_z=”1″ ca_an_opacity=”1″ offset=”vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-5″ ca_init_translate_y=”39″][ld_fancy_heading tag=”h2″ transform=”text-uppercase” use_custom_fonts_title=”true” enable_fit=”true” compressor=”0.5″ margin=”bottom_small:0px”]WHY CONSIDER FORESIGHT?[/ld_fancy_heading][ld_spacer height=”15px”][ld_fancy_heading tag=”h6″ transform=”text-uppercase” use_custom_fonts_title=”true” fs=”12px” ls=”0.2em” color=”rgb(63, 65, 71)” margin=”top_small:0px”]Foresight invites people across boundaries of class, community, expertise and culture to articulate the important dilemmas on the horizon.[/ld_fancy_heading][ld_spacer height=”28px”][ld_fancy_heading tag=”p” use_custom_fonts_title=”true” title=”Each boutique hotel in the Ave Hotel collection tells a unique story, inviting guests to immerse themselves in tales of adventure, romance, history, culture, nature and more for the length of a memorable stay.

Effective foresight has always been important in human life. However, it is now much more difficult to ascertain because our modern world is changing faster than ever before.

Foresight, in contrast to fatalism, gives us increased power to shape our futures, even in the most turbulent times. People who can think ahead will be prepared to take advantage of all the new opportunities that rapid social and technological progress are creating.[/ld_fancy_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1587643557843{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;background-color: #f5f5f5 !important;}”][vc_column enable_content_animation=”yes” ca_init_scale_x=”1″ ca_init_scale_y=”1″ ca_init_scale_z=”1″ ca_init_opacity=”0″ ca_an_scale_x=”1″ ca_an_scale_y=”1″ ca_an_scale_z=”1″ ca_an_opacity=”1″ offset=”vc_col-md-5″ ca_init_translate_y=”42″][ld_fancy_heading tag=”h2″ transform=”text-uppercase” use_custom_fonts_title=”true” enable_fit=”true” compressor=”0.5″ margin=”bottom_small:0px”]THE BENEFITS OF FORESIGHT[/ld_fancy_heading][ld_spacer height=”15px”][ld_fancy_heading tag=”h6″ transform=”text-uppercase” use_custom_fonts_title=”true” fs=”12px” ls=”0.2em” color=”rgb(63, 65, 71)” margin=”top_small:0px”]Foresight helps identify new areas for action and new needs for resources.[/ld_fancy_heading][ld_fancy_heading tag=”p” use_custom_fonts_title=”true” title=”Each boutique hotel in the Ave Hotel collection tells a unique story, inviting guests to immerse themselves in tales of adventure, romance, history, culture, nature and more for the length of a memorable stay.
