All our projects add up to the one principle we work from:
connecting technology and succesful business with positive change in society.
People often understand our work as 'predicting the future’ — but thats just part of what we do.
Perhaps 'possibility thinking' might be a better way to frame what we do. We don’t assume there’s only one future reality to be discovered, but rather a field of possibilities.
We help people and organisations to recognise that field of possibilities and to exercise their imagination muscles.

THE MEETING - In June 1642 Comenius visited Descartes in his countryhouse in Oegstgeest. For four hours they discussed their world views. The two men were seen as revolutionaries in their own day. Comenius was at the center of a project to create a pan-European community of learning, grounded in a loosely Aristotelian Protestantism. Descartes, of course, was soon to publish his Principles of Philosophy , which advanced a comprehensive approach to nature that employed a mechanistic physics in the fashion of Lucretius and Galileo, and was (at least officially) nonpartisan in its religious outlook.
They parted in friendly fashion, but their worlds were truly incommensurable. As it turns out, Descartes’s revolution mostly succeeded, and Comenius’s was mainly forgotten. Looking back we now see that this meeting of two great minds mirrors an important fork in two world views.
KEYNOTES & WORKSHOPS - Pieter Haasnoot is considered a leading voice on transformations on the brink of society, business & technology. He delivers keynotes & workshops all over the world.
