Use Case Description
A sovereign investment company, managing a global portfolio exceeding USD 350 billion, sought to build a future-resilient strategic foresight function. Their scenario planning process' centered around narratives like 'Game of Thrones', 'Tech Dystopia', 'Rise of Big Society', and 'Rise of Asia'‚ needed to be complemented by a dynamic, AI-enabled horizon scanning platform. Shaping Tomorrow addressed this by enabling real-time discovery of weak signals, momentum scoring of emerging trends, and a dashboard environment customizable to the sovereign investment company's internal scenarios and structural themes: Digitization, Longer Lifespans, Sustainable Living, and Future of Consumption. The platform further supported a secondary use case for geopolitical risk monitoring, such as the Taiwan-China conflict, offering granular signpost tracking, escalation indicators, and sentiment momentum analytics. Together, these capabilities empowered the sovereign investment company to align foresight with investment strategy, improve internal decision-making, and maintain agility amidst an increasingly volatile global landscape.
