A designed, place-based experience and learning journey where participants explore futures through guided visits, observation, and structured reflection. Instead of talking about change, teams engage with it directly.
What to expect
A curated experience that helps participants feel a future and notice change in the real world, through visits, guided observation, and structured reflection. Immersions can range from half-day cultural safaris to multi-day programs or retreats. The goal is the same: to sharpen attention, surface weak signals, and help teams connect what they observe to strategic questions back home.
What it is
A carefully designed itinerary or experience, observation prompts and sensemaking tools, facilitation throughout, and a synthesis that turns impressions into insight and implications.
What you get
When it fits
When you want to disrupt habitual thinking, build shared references, or explore an ecosystem — a city, a sector, an innovation landscape — to open up new options and conversations.
