Use Case Description
To meet rising demands for future-ready insights, a national department responsible for environmental and food policy required a repeatable, scalable foresight function that supported consistent scanning across units. Shaping Tomorrow automated the sourcing and tagging of weak signals while providing tools to assess signal relevance and trend maturity. Outputs were aligned to the department's own Mega Trends framework and included tagged Excel databases, presentation-ready slides, and briefing summaries. Over time, this supported better alignment of the department's internal strategy development, and improved cross-departmental decision support for emerging risks and opportunities.
