Foresight Alliance | Opportunity Identification

acorn240x180 Focusing narrowly on today can blind you to the opportunities hidden in the emerging world of tomorrow. With our robust suite of research tools and approaches, Foresight Alliance will help you spot novel markets, identify relevant consumer trends, understand the forces creating tomorrow’s customers, and capitalize on emerging technologies.

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Foresight Alliance on two strategic foresights projects in the last few years. The first was for PepsiCo and investigated what would be driving consumers’ food and beverage choices ten years from now. The second project, IRI2038, was for the Industrial Research Institute and asked what research and technology management might look like 25 years in the future… Both studies are highly regarded and I would definitely work with [the Foresight Alliance] team again.”

"Bill Croasmun and Terry Grim collaborated on creating and delivering a unique training program for our members that focuses on leadership development, project management, customer service and strategic planning. They took the time to learn our industry and design a meaningful curriculum to help our members be more productive in their varied professional roles. Bill and Terry are expert facilitators and their comfortable working chemistry maximizes the learning experience for students. The evaluations [they receive] are always outstanding."
