Communities
Community action only has purpose when new value is created. By identifying the value adding contributions of stakeholders and decision makers to the community's future, more effective investment decisions can be made. This leads to longer lasting and more far reaching action, avoiding fads and fashions prevelent in the policy arena. Futurist’s unique approach to strategic planning can also help communities to create more sustainable organisations capable of anticipating and surviving future change, essentially helping community groups to make long term plans.
Futurist’s team of consultants have a proven track record in delivering projects to community based groups. Futurist can help community organisations to build a collective view of the future, promote wider involvement, encourage buy-in and ownership from local stakeholders. The techniques generate improved communications with policy makers and funders by identifying key risks and evaluation criteria.
Futurist uses its highly interactive facilitation techniques to encourage all aspects of the community to contribute to shaping the future of an area or group. This increased degree of involvement in a project helps the community to feel more empowered and achieves a greater level of ownership amongst a wider range of key stakeholders.
