FutureSim™
FutureSim™ is an interactive team game that NEXT has developed over the past 10 years. The aim is for teams of players to explore what might happen next in your market.
Each team plays a pre-determined role e.g. as a competitor, a customer, a wild card, a regulatory body, a hi-tech company.
During the game the teams interact with each to develop tactical and strategic responses to a given future situation.
FutureSim™ is guaranteed to give you new insights into your future. It has been used by major client groups with great success in a number of countries including the USA, Australia and New Zealand.

How Cities and Regions Grow
The Nation State is fast becoming a dinosaur. Global growth is being driven by smart city and regional states.
Some cities and regions have been hugely successful in providing their citizens with high incomes and quality environments in which to live. Others have failed to attract the right people and resources, and are in a process of decline.
What makes the difference?
NEXT has developed highly innovative tools and processes in this area to help cities and regions plan for positive growth.
