Foresight
By the time change is obvious, the window to act on it has usually closed.
What We Offer
From in-person briefings and category-specific forecasts to bespoke scenario planning and speculative design. We help you design your future with intention.
Clear Signals
When everything feels like a trend and you can't tell what's noise.
A focused 90-minute briefing built entirely around your brand, category, and moment. Four to five cultural signals — each with context, implication, and a strategic provocation specific to your world. You leave with a shareable Signals Document and a clearer sense of what to act on.
Format
90 minutes · virtual or in-person · tailored to your category
Deliverables
4–5 bespoke signals with evidence and implication, shareable Signals Document
From
£1,500
Scenario Planning
When you're facing a significant decision to make and the honest answer is: it depends on which way things go.
You're not looking to be told what to do. You want a structured way to think through what could go wrong, what could exceed expectations, and what needs to be true regardless of which future arrives. We build three divergent scenarios from real signals and run a facilitated workshop where your team stress-tests their strategy against each one.
Format
2 weeks · briefing, scenario development, half-day facilitated workshop
Deliverables
Three future scenarios, Scenario Planning Document with no-regret strategic moves
From
£4,000
Future Forecast
When you're preparing for a planning cycle, investment decision, or significant shift and need more than a gut feeling about the direction of travel.
Forecasting takes cultural signals and projects them forward: likely trajectories, emerging wild cards, and what it all means for your brand's positioning and priorities over the next 12 to 36 months. The work that turns cultural awareness into strategic confidence — something you can build a real plan from.
Format
2–3 weeks · research, analysis, presentation
Deliverables
Forecast Report: trajectory analysis, market implications, strategic recommendations
From
£4,000
Speculative Design
When ideas of the future feel so uncertain and abstract that people are feeling stuck and unable to act on anything.
Speculative design is the practice of designing from the future backwards by creating artefacts, experiences, or narratives from possible futures to make them concrete enough to act on. It's not prediction. It's a way of unlocking thinking that slides and reports can't reach. Useful for innovation teams, leadership offsites, and creative briefs that need more than data.
Format
Bespoke · scoped per project
Deliverables
Designed to brief with format and deliverables scoped per project
Investment scoped to project. Let's start with a conversation.
What Sets Us Apart
Most foresight work stops at the signal.
nouvôt goes further. From cultural intelligence to forecasting to scenario work to speculative exploration. Trained in IFTF Futures Thinking methodology and built from 20 years of cultural pattern recognition across fashion, lifestyle, and creative sectors, we don't just hand you a report of what's coming.
We help you think clearly about what it means, test your strategy against it, and make decisions that hold up across multiple possible futures.
Practical
We don't stop at the signal. Every piece of foresight work ends with clear implications and something your team can actually do — not a trend deck that sits in a folder.
Hopeful
We believe the future is something you design, not something that happens to you. Our work is grounded in possibility and what could go well — not just risk mitigation and worst-case thinking.
Intentional
Foresight carries responsibility. We think carefully about whose futures we're imagining, what assumptions we're embedding, and what it means to design for what's ahead with integrity.
Bespoke
No recycled trend reports. Every engagement is built from original research, specific to your brand, category, and moment. What you receive is made for you — not repurposed from someone else.
