Foresight Transitions has specialist frontier experience in the suite of technologies that will be required in order to realise the net zero global economy by 2050.

This ranges from deep decarbonisation technologies such as Carbon Capture and Storage, Greenhouse Gas Removal, Hydrogen and Energy Storage. A unique perspective that Foresight Transitions is able to bring is in the holistic development of commercial insights around the development of business models for these propositions and how they might be made more robust across a range of possible futures.

Foresight Transitions has been pioneering the development of decision support tools which are able to cope with the high dimensionality and extensive uncertainty of net zero.

We have been advocating the increasing prevalent consensus that the ability to predicate net zero strategies around decision support tools that are based on prediction is flawed for over a decade. We have developed a cutting edge tool kit which allows robust decisions to be made without having to predict what is not only unknown but also unknowable.

Foresight Transitions has a substantive track record on generating robust net zero strategies to inform both national policy design and corporate business planning in the medium to long term.

Building on our deep knowledge of energy technologies and our work with commercial concerns around business model design and future proofing propositions, we are able to provide a range of unique insights into net zero strategy design.

Foresight Transitions have developed a suite of strategy development tools which are able to unpack the uncertainty space in the future operating environment thereby proving decision makers with better visibility of systemic risk and cascade failure.

This toolkit uses a range of mixed methods and approaches to allow stress testing decision spaces through different lenses and perspectives in order to ensure that weak signals which might generate systemic risk can be tracked and monitored, enabling an anticipatory dimension to corporate decision making.

Foresight Transitions has developed a “go to” toolkit which can be adapted and applied to deeply uncertain problem spaces in order to generate both quantitative and qualitative insights to inform corporate business planning. 

The tools developed allow strategy codeveloped by clients so as to generate as broad perspective of the future option space with a view to generating holistic and robust solution sets that allow adaption to changing circumstances.
