Continuous identification and curation of signals, trends and shifts, translated into factors you can track and discuss.
What to expect
Scanning (horizon scanning, environmental scanning and historic scanning) helps separate noise from meaningful change, creating a curated view of what’s emerging before it becomes obvious. Connects micro signals, meso-level patterns, and macro forces into a coherent picture.
What it is
A living signal stream or library, with tagging and themes. Short insights that explain why something matters, and periodic sensemaking that highlights what to pay attention to next, and what to ignore. The output is not volume, but relevance.
What you get
When you want fewer surprises and better strategic conversations based on monitoring. Especially useful in environments where early awareness creates real advantage.

Formats
❋ Signal ScanningOngoing identification and curation of weak signals and emerging shifts, supporting early-warning conversations and decisions before change becomes mainstream.
❋ Trend RadarA structured overview of trends and forces, prioritized by relevance and time horizon, designed to help leaders track what matters and act intentionally.
❋ Megatrends MappingA high-level synthesis of long-term structural shifts, tailored to your domain, linking big forces to concrete implications and strategic questions.
Case12 Days of Signals is ANTICIPATE’s annual horizon-scanning ritual: twelve sharp signals, shared over twelve days, to cut through the noise and surface what’s quietly shifting. Each signal is a small but telling change that helps leaders spot emerging risks, opportunities, and blind spots early, and turn “interesting” into informed action.
