In 2012 futures Upfront was set up by Barbel Winter as a consultancy with the purpose of working to create inclusive communities.
futures Upfront strongly believes that bringing together different people, concepts and ideas across different sectors and communities will not only lead to better results for everyone, but will also generate the new ideas, fresh energies, and new solutions critical in a complex, constantly changing world.
futures Upfront is future focused. We start with the end in mind. This means we start with your goals and dreams: your vision for the future. We start with your goal for a project, a review, a training program or simply a new idea. We start from what you want to achieve, working towards the outcomes you have in mind.
I work with you to develop the right approach for you, and we will share our ideas, tools, suggestions, skills and knowledge. We work creatively to challenge usual modes of thinking. We thrive on complexity and difficulty. We deliver innovative yet practical ideas, strategies and programs.
futures Upfront delivers the outcomes you are looking for.
