Shaping Tomorrow

Until now, in-depth environmental scanning has largely been in the realms of large multinational corporations and yet today, more than ever, global events and trends have significant effects on local businesses, large or small. Consistent with Strategic Alignment’s commitment to bringing global best practice management and the latest management tools to its clients, we have established an alliance with an independent UK company, Shaping Tomorrow, that provides a futures intelligence tool and content management portal to help you better ‘anticipate trends’ and satisfy the increasing hunger for ingenuity. This means that organisations large or small can:

	More quickly recognise change and know what you don’t know before your rivals
	Stay responsive to customers and ahead of competitors
	Respond to risks and uncertainties that will affect you and your organisation now
	Plan and innovate for growth, better service, and profits – today

Shaping Tomorrow is an Internet-based service using 13,679 eclectic links to 4,745 websites of the futures community, strategists, change masters, and research organisations. The service has over 8,100 global members across a wide range of industries and corporate functions who want to better anticipate trends, identify blind spots and make sense of the mass of information available.

From their UK headquarters they manage a global team of editors, analysts and researchers who collect and analyse information from rigorous and continuous physical searches of quality future-related sites. They do not use an automated web crawler.

Every day, relevant articles and studies about the future are uploaded to Shaping Tomorrow. Using qualitative and quantitative analysis they produce a classified blind spots listing of over 1,930 clustered global and regional trends, tipping points, bubbles, uncertainties, wildcards and forces for change that are emerging all around us.

This makes Shaping Tomorrow the most comprehensive, in-depth single source web site for foresight and perspective, innovation and risk management anywhere in the world. Strategic Alignment is now making this service available to organisations in Australia and New Zealand.
