    SAMI Consulting Ltd1

    Robust decisions in uncertain times

    Futures thinking is in our DNA. SAMI was created as the St Andrews Management Institute in 1989, as a joint venture between Shell, the pioneers in scenario planning, and St Andrews University. That powerful mix of academic rigour and practical delivery continues in work and with our people today: Experienced practitioners, world-renowned futures authors, and consultants with first-hand experience of the public sector and the challenges facing it.

    SAMI was commissioned by the Government Office for Science to overhaul its Futures Toolkit. We have reviewed and re-written many of the core tools, adding new ones and advising on more advanced techniques.

    SAMI Consulting Ltd are futures domain specialists. We have 30 years’ experience of working internationally, with the European Commission and with HM Government on futures projects. We understand the specific needs of Government in formulating and reaching decisions at both the policy and delivery levels. We have worked with the Cabinet Office, the Government Office for Science and HMG central departments; agencies; Local Government, Local Enterprise Partnerships, NDPBs, police forces and security agencies, universities and charities.

    We work with you using a wide range of foresight tools including scenario planning. We identify
    major drivers of change impacting your organisation, develop different futures and test alternative
    strategies. This participative approach builds capability in your team, enabling them to become
    more innovative and more able to react rapidly to unexpected change.


    We offer the full range of Futures capability from gathering intelligence, to making sense of it, to
    testing and developing your strategy, making decisions and taking action. We use the full range of
    Futures and Foresight tools, conduct our own research and maintain our own knowledge acquisition
    mechanisms. This means we can deliver a faster, tailored and more sophisticated response to your
    needs and avoid ‘reinventing the wheel.’


    SAMI’s experienced facilitators are adept at managing the unique challenges of futures workshops.
    We enable participants to step outside their present-bias into a futures-mode of thinking

    Fremtenkt is a non-profit futures agency.

    That means we can predict the future! Just kidding.

    But we can teach you to use your own and others' images of the future as a tool – a tool to explore, challenge and expand the possibilities you see for changing the world for the better.

    Along the way, you'll develop Futures Literacy - the UNESCO-recognized capability that enhances your creative problem-solving and makes you more resilient in the face of the unexpected.

    Stories from 2050September 2021

    Radical, inspiring and thought-provoking narratives around challenges and opportunities of our futures

    Stories and narratives are a powerful tool of Futures Literacy and Futures Thinking. In recent years, they have been fighting for attention next to scenarios and trend research within the Foresight discipline, and there is a good reason for it. Adding up to 21 stories, the narratives in this booklet deal with the planetary emergency, the existential threat of climate change and the biodiversity crisis, which are driving the European Green Deal. They were built on ideas by people from all around the world. Some were experts in the field, some purely engaged citizens with a story to tell. Stories from 2050 range from plausible sci-fi stories of the future to fictional fairy tales that provoke abstract thinking. Some stories are hopeful; others are concerning. They are going to stimulate your thinking by providing different perspectives and layers of understanding.
