Need a compelling snapshot for your next team meeting, board paper or planning session? Or something deeper to inform a bug strategic decision? We specialise in simplified, highly visual, insight reports built for decision-making. Whether it’s a look at how 18-year-olds are thinking, a scan of social media trends, a review of how the humanities are being marketed, or global takes on university strategy presentations, we’ve got you covered. These are not dry, academic papers. They’re fast, focused, and filled with real-world inspiration. Designed to be read easily, to be memorable, and acted on instantly. Tell us the topic, we’ll create the report you need.

We’ve provided foresight reports to support key stages of Imperial’s White City campus development, part of its ambitious innovation district strategy. With a focus on anticipating what future students will need by 2030, our reports have highlighted stand-out trends and were shared in both written and workshop format with the development team, architects, planners, academics, and students alike.

Future Campus

We recently created a concise foresight report exploring what to expect from 18-year-olds in the future. Designed as a quick provocation and springboard for debate, the report distilled 30 key insights into just a few pages, drawing evidence not only from education but also from fashion, entertainment, technology, and politics.

Youth Snapshots

Being 18

We’ve produced a wide range of reports on course marketing trends, designed to help universities find inspiration from peers worldwide. These reports go beyond past data, focusing instead on future employer needs and wider societal shifts. Topics have included the horizon for short courses, the future of engineering, social sciences and the humanities, and new opportunities for creative arts education.

Portfolio Reports
