My Work

You can only speak meaningfully about the future if you understand the zeitgeist—the spirit of the times. Understanding that spirit is my job, and has been for more than 17 years.

My radar is constantly tuned in to trend-spotting and understanding the changing world. To be a good futurist, you must stay informed, keep your eyes and ears open, follow developments, talk to people, observe their actions, and understand their hopes and ideals.

But future studies are also about daring to venture into deep waters—to imagine and propose possible solutions to tomorrow’s challenges and opportunities. A futurist needs not only insight but also a strong imagination.

My skills come into play in many different contexts—where inspiration is needed, where a fresh perspective is welcome, where critical thinking, objective analysis, and an update on trends are required. I help draw possible perspectives for the future.

Presentations

Conferences? In need of inspiration or an update on trends and tendencies? Does your organization need a boost? Curious about the opportunities and threats of tomorrow?

What about food trends in 2025? What will we be eating in the future? What comes after organic?

A sharp talk about the future is always a good starting point for an exciting day, a productive dialogue, new ideas, a revised strategy—or the beginning of something new and better.

Since 2000, I’ve delivered more than 500 lectures, both in my home country and abroad.

Trend-Spotting

Reading the zeitgeist and understanding the underlying dynamics is a profession in itself—one that many companies are not equipped to handle in-house. It requires focus and dedication, just like any other serious discipline.

Through trend seminars, reports, and presentations, I help clients stay updated on the latest developments, challenges, and opportunities—whether it’s the evolution of the coffee market, the newest trends in food and health, or the direction of the green (sustainability) wave.

Articles

Writing is both a craft and a pleasure—and I’m fortunate that many editors, magazines, and newspapers want my words and insights about the future in their articles, websites, or books.

They seek bold opinions, witty commentary, unusual angles, and sharp analysis—content that gets readers thinking. News that inspires action. Writing that makes people wiser. It’s all about putting the future on the agenda—in an active and positive way.

Workshops

Let’s put the future on the agenda.

What does the future market look like? What new products or innovations are on the horizon? What if…?

In our workshops, we explore scenarios, challenge assumptions, and spark creative thinking.

Scenario Processes

The future is uncertain—and that’s exactly why scenario processes are so valuable. They help organizations get a firm grip on uncertainty and gain clear insights into what lies ahead.

Through dialogue and focus on key uncertainties, we create realistic and relevant scenarios for your company, your industry, or society as a whole. We explore opportunities and threats. With the right process, the future becomes concrete.

Scenario planning is an excellent tool for making tough decisions and shaping sound strategy.

Creepy but true: many people, companies, and organizations have never seriously considered the future. Now’s the time.
