Strategic advisory for organizations at inflection points
When a keynote isn't enough and your organization needs a thought partner to navigate a complex moment, Fly Futures offers strategic advisory and consulting engagements rooted in cognitive science, strategic foresight, and the Futures ALCHEMY™ methodology.
Outcomes-focused advisory for organizations navigating transformation
Organizations at inflection points often have the data they need. What they lack is a framework for thinking imaginatively about what's actually possible — and a thought partner who can help them get there.
Fly Futures consulting engagements are built around the Futures ALCHEMY™ methodology and designed to surface strategic opportunities, challenge limiting assumptions, and co-create actionable roadmaps grounded in both rigorous analysis and expansive imagination.
Engagements are scoped to your organization's specific needs and timeline — from focused advisory sprints to sustained strategic partnerships. Every engagement begins with a deep listening phase: understanding your moment, your culture, and the specific capacities you need to build.
Best for: Organizations navigating AI transformation · Institutions redesigning culture or strategy · Leadership teams preparing for significant change · Companies seeking a human-centered approach to future-building
synthesis
Guided Sensemaking
Real-time synthesis and shared insights for convenings and strategic gatherings
Large convenings generate enormous amounts of insights, dialogue, and complexity. Most of it dissipates before the organization can act on it. Guided sensemaking captures what matters, surfaces the patterns, and translates complexity into shared understanding that actually drives action.
Dr. Ford works with event organizers and organizational leaders to design and facilitate sensemaking experiences embedded within or following major convenings. The result: a distilled, actionable synthesis that gives participants a shared frame for moving forward — and gives the organization a living document of its own collective intelligence.
Best for: Multi-day leadership summits · Strategic planning retreats · Conferences seeking to translate dialogue into direction · Organizations building shared understanding across diverse stakeholders
