I am a foresight practitioner (otherwise known as a 'futurist') in the policy making space. I am a member of two organizations that focus on applying foresight in policy making space, one with a focus on intergenerational fairness and another on participatory futures (civic engagement & foresight).

Clients include the full run of international organizations, e.g. UNICEF, UNDP, and so on, and international foundations.

We're not in the business of predictions or focus on techno-solutionisms, rather we help policymakers and organizations understand different ways social change can unfold and impact them and help them build strategies that navigate around these changes.

I like what I do and feels it has high social impact. I just wish it paid better and wouldn't mind working with a long-term fund or VC as an additional side gig to make that happen.

“we help policymakers and organizations understand different ways social change can unfold and impact them and help them build strategies that navigate around these changes.”

Can you recommend any starting points if I would like to learn more?
