Future Map helps companies enhance early warning systems by establishing a set of "trigger points" to watch and structure an organization-wide monitoring efforts. This is achieved by continuously assessing future event probabilities and visualizing critical changes in the anticipated environment.
A number of alternative scenarios are developed, each connected to key pivotal events - "trigger points" - early indicators that a scenario likely to become a reality. In parallel, thresholds related to developments in specific areas are defined and resulting trends may indicate a significant changes in environment.
By tracking a comprehensive set of trigger points and thresholds and regularly measuring perceptions of probabilities it is possible to sense if expected development are indeed happening.
Future Map software includes highly customizable dashboards and reporting tools that allows decision makers to be aware of the changes that may impact a policy or a strategy.
