FORESIGHT STUDIO Design | Consulting | Innovation Mission Our clients face challenging and multifaceted problems. They seek the vanguard of design and sustainable thought—adept people, systemic perspectives, and inventive creativity. At the Foresight Studio, we play both pilot and cartographer by navigating and charting often unknown territory. More specifically, we help clients comprehend challenges and generate holistic and effective solutions. A drive to catalyze sustainable systems actively informs all of our work. Methodology We put a premium on deeply understanding our clients’ obstacles. Such insight, although illusive to find, is necessary in order to craft durable and profound outcomes. We then develop solutions via an iterative, intuitive, and exploratory approach. Because systemic problems require systemic answers, we believe the method is as important as, if not more critical than, the end product. Our dynamic process is one of co-production: by working next to our clients, we empower and enable our partners to effectively address their future challenges. In this way, we work to make ourselves obsolete. Team Before ‘green’ and ‘eco’ became synonyms for ‘chic’ and ‘in,’ we propelled the now-thriving sustainability movement in Chicago through events and forums that united businesses, government agencies, designers, and entrepreneurs. Today we continue to act as both leader and participant in the Chicago sustainability hub. Our dynamic role—as an entity that brings the community together—provides direct connections, unparalleled collaborative opportunities, and a critical advantage over competing firms. In addition to a broad network of contacts, our team members have multidisciplinary backgrounds, flexible capabilities, and creative prowess. For the past eight years we have implemented sustainable solutions, spoken at and moderated conferences, and voraciously consumed relevant literature and cultural events. Tools Complex problems require a multifaceted approach; one strategy is rarely sufficient. As a learning organization that is dedicated to assimilating, testing, and sharing new strategies, our resources are always growing.
