Experience matters. We didn't just start working in futures. Changeist builds on a 17-year track record, and almost 20 years’ experience in futures to our work (50+ if we stack it all up). This is backed by an additional decade researching and forecasting at the convergence of human behavior and technological change.

Process only gets you part of the way. We bring the collective benefit of this experience, knowledge, and delivery that goes beyond expectations, together with an openness to experimentation and an ability to balance our sufficiently structured approach with a fluid mindset.

Earning trust is critical to exploration. Though we have fun, we take our responsibilities seriously, and realize the weight of the challenges and questions we’re entrusted with. Likewise, we maintain an honest and candid relationship with our partners and clients, and look for the same from them.

Imagining better requires more than one mindset. We blend the skills of strategists, designers, writers, artists, curators, producers and researchers to apply a critical lens so that we can provide superior insight into both dark possibility and brilliant potential. 

The future should be inclusive. Most importantly, we make it our ongoing mission to open our knowledge, skills, and experiences to others, and theirs to us. We value different lived experiences as well as recognized expertise. We work to broaden the spectrum of diverse voices and insights that enable us to imagine other futures.

We collaborate with those who push the edge. We've partnered with the largest brands, most adventurous cultural institutions and forward-thinking public bodies to materialize new future pathways — from rigorous research right through to emotional impact.
