APPLY SERVICES

Company Future Vision / Future-Correct Positioning: We’ll collaborate with you to design the Future-correct reframe for your company based on how the world will evolve. We often discover adjacencies highlighting the business you should be in and could be in to add incremental revenue to your portfolio. 

Future-Correct Portfolio: FPBR will create a strategic roadmap that projects your Future growth opportunities in the Now, Next and Future. It includes exploring what businesses you could jump-start, invest in, or acquire and what innovation concepts, services, products, and channels you should build. 

BrainBurst Ideation: We’ll coordinate your “The Future is Now” BrainBurst Application Session with TalentBank Futurists, including innovators and entrepreneurs, who will lead your team to generate immediate opportunities. Each of them will prepare written submissions of their ideas and solutions based on an initial brief. Finally, we’ll facilitate an online session where the innovators will pitch their concepts to you in a “Shark Tank” style panel.

Future Valuation: We’ll help you analyze market sizing for incremental to longer-term gains and collaborate on valuation. FPBR will also separate potential market size into three timeframes (Now, Next and Future) and facilitate a team discussion to prioritize areas of opportunity. The deliverable from this Future Valuation is critical to building an air-tight business case for internal and external investment.
