Adrian has over 30 years of experience working on foresight. He started as a scenario planner in 1992 when working for a joint venture with Global Business Network whilst based in Brussels (1993). After stints working in the European Commission and in Academia (Georgia Tech, Atlanta), he joined a software company making tools for scenario and strategy work. In 2008 he then founded 4Sing as a vehicle to support the Government of the Republic of Singapore in setting up its “Risk Assessment and Horizon Scanning” programme, where Adrian helped determine and template the methods used, as well as training staff and backstopping the Prime Minister’s Office. Since then, Adrian (and now also his colleagues) have helped clients develop their own in-house foresight to strategy capacities and run strategy processes for clients, as well as moderating knowledge exchange events and conferences. He has experience in using many methods, from Design Thinking through to Scenario writing and leverages Open-Source Intelligence and software tools such as 4Strat and the Parmenides Eidos™ decision-making tool suite, which both support (but not in any way replacing) human reasoning to anticipate future changes in the world outside as well as to develop robust strategies and monitoring tools to evaluate the implementation of the strategies.
