The objectives

Learning, integrating and practicing “strategic” foresight enhance the 3 important objectives described below.

Risk and continuity management

AUGMNT is particularly interested in the integration and alignment of foresight practices and its results with risk management, continuity as well as static and dynamic preparation for the future programmes.

COLLAB, the advantages

In addition to the benefits of foresight planning, our collaborative work offers many advantages to a referring partner.

Our work, the relation allow to :

• Offer a service, a skill without the need to invest to acquire and maintain it.
• Augment their influence and relevance.
• Create a competitive advance and/or advantage..
• Participate in the propagation of the futures literacy.
• Work in a spirit of cooperation by articulating solutions that are appropriate and adapted to the needs of their clients.

Our difference

At AUGMNT, we focus particularly on the balanced development of the 3 horizons (SIGMA) and the integration of foresight results into the organization’s other strategic activities.

Our activities and advice therefore focus on:

• Strategic planning over the 3 horizons.
• The exploration of each horizon, the characteristics, risks and opportunities specific to each.
• The exploration and development of business models for every horizon.
• Analysis of the organization’s micro, meso and macro levels.
• The integration of foresight into risk management, continuity and static and dynamic preparation for the future.
• Vigilance or strategic watch/monitoring integrated with other types of monitoring (competitive, legal, etc.).

Our attitude

We work with an attitude of collaboration and cooperation, and believe that we have a responsibility to lead well and assert our competence, while affirming the expertise of the organization retaining our services and its relationship with the competence of the organization referring us. This affirmation of respective competence so that the synergy of our respective and collective work is augmented. We offer flexibility in our work because the future is not pre-determined, we must therefore create the conditions that encourage new mental models, new ideas and the exploration of new futures.

Because of our legal background, we believe that the future of an organization is an intellectual and proprietary property and that some of its practices may constitute confidential competitive practices. Our work is therefore aligned with these needs for confidentiality and the protection of intellectual property when it applies.

We also work in a spirit of objectivity, transparency and integrity; we say what we do and do what we say. Finally, we also consider ourselves an ambassador for our partners and act as the guardian of the customer relationship.

What to expect at the beginning?

Again, being very influenced by our legal background, we believe that the collaborative relationship is “intuitu personae” that is, it is connected and directed by the type or quality, the uniqueness of the organization. Therefore, any collaboration is achieved by previously determining the expectations and needs of the clients in order to design the appropriate solutions, interventions and reporting. Finally, foresight is deliverable as a whole program or in parts in order to encourage its delivery, understanding and adoption in ways that are often necessary conditions for an organization.
