Local Authority & Public Sector Products

Futurist delivers high quality projects to public sector clients, helping them to improve long term planning, adding value to existing services, increasing the effectiveness of policy interventions, defining evaluation criteria for evidence base and managing risk.

Futurist is in a unique position to apply strategic development processes to public policy areas. Futurist’s experienced consultants have a proven track record of delivering highly innovative and inclusive programmes to a wider range of public sector bodies.

Through the use of 'Futures Thinking' techniques Futurist is able to demonstrate how the global driving forces and trends impact upon the future of local decision making bodies. By considering the role of your organisation within this wider global context, Futurist is able to integrate a greater degree of flexibility into the operations of local decision makers. This will help your organisation to create more robust long term strategies which are able to remain relevant in the face of changing regional, national and international conditions.

The techniques applied by Futurist also allow public sector organisations to consult with a wide range of stakeholders on key issues. By focusing on the long term future these discussions can be freed from traditional present day constraints to create an unshackled view of the future which encompasses the views of a broad range of stakeholders.

Futurist’s techniques can assist in the development of Economic Assessments and Economic Development Strategies whilst also providing a base for other work, such as local action plans or public consultations.
