Reducing avoidable surprises and broadening strategic opportunities
For nearly two decades, we’ve been on a quest to equip businesses, public entities, and international organisations with foresight advisory, tools and solutions to weather any storm the future might bring. We helped them confidently embrace change, unlock their full potential and pave the way for future growth. Our mission? To prepare them for the twists and turns ahead, so they can confidently make well-informed decisions, and seize every opportunity that comes their way. That is why we create guides to the future that allow our clients to realise their goals in an ever-changing world.
By anticipating what’s possible, we enable our clients to make bold moves, take calculated risks, and secure a bright future for all. Whether it’s making strategic decisions or implementing innovative solutions, we make sure our clients stay ahead of the curve, outpacing the competition.
Nearly two decades of eye-opening expeditions into the future and back
In 2006, we ventured into the world of econometric sales forecasts for a bigwig FMCG company. Fast forward a bit, and we snagged the first prize in a highly-coveted business plan competition co-organised by TechnoPort S.A. and the University Technology Transfer Center of the University of Warsaw. Soon after, by our clients’ popular demand, we moved beyond our data-crunching roots into the exciting realm of cutting-edge strategic foresight – suddenly, the future became much wider and brighter!
As the years went by, we rocketed forward with dynamic growth and an ever-increasing army of satisfied clients including the European Commission, Ministry of Development Funds and Regional Policy, United Nations Climate Change or Saint-Gobain. Listening carefully to their feedback and needs, we stretched our limits and expanded our offerings, continuously coming up with widely praised methodological innovations. Take a peek at some of the key projects 4CF has delivered over nearly two decades – all lined up neatly on our timeline.
