At Future Station, we help you navigate uncertainty, anticipate change, and turn future challenges into opportunities.
FORESIGHT
“Prediction is very difficult,
In these times, all predictions about the future are likely to be wrong in nearly every aspect and circumstance. The approach is not about predicting a future, but rather prepare for the different ways the future might unfold. The are no more prizes left for making predictions about the future, being sure that this or that will happen; the prizes will go for those that prepare for the different ways the future might unfold.
Competitors appear from unexpected places. Market behavior is changing. New technologies are promising. Customers seem to know more than they do. But how and who to make sense of all these?
Do you think the external world changes and your company is not?
Identification of strategic early signals of change is good news for those whose role is maintaining competitive advantage for the organization. The failure is in lack of action, and if you were a decision maker, wouldn’t you like to have an early warning capability available?

Nicole de Beer
Managing Partner FMI IrelandImpetum's mission is to create an entrepreneurial ecosystem that will generate high impact in the Romanian economy for the long-term, hence it was imperative for us to delve into a Foresight exercise to understand the Future of Investments. We explored the benefits of looking into the future, drew different scenarios accordingly, discussed on why scanning and following relevant trends is relevant for being a thought leader, why Scenario Planning and thinking in alternatives should be the default way of thinking. Thank you, Diana&team, for guiding us on on this incredibly insightful journey!
Andreea Cionca
Managing Director & Co-founder Impetum Group, RomaniaIt is rewarding for leaders to have a good methodology to look into the future, in a fast-changing business and legislative environment, when both business models and our lives are rapidly evolving worldwide. Having a foresight exercise on future of governance and boards may help leadership teams to scan the most advance worldwide practices, identify new trends, think in alternatives and do scenario planning for their context. It is a great opportunity too for building a lasting way of thinking for their own and their companies. Thank you, Diana and Future Station, for assisting us setting another great milestone at Envisia boards of Elite!
Adela Jansen
Board DirectorTogether with Future Station we have analysed the Future of Work, we have identified Trends, concrete manifestations of how the future of work is disrupted, and Scenario Planning in exploring the Future. Foresight proves to be a very engaging participatory process for building future strategies and enhancing futures thinking of the team. In an environment dominated by so much change and uncertainty, looking for changes in the external environment and thinking in scenarios could be a plus. Thank you Diana and Future Station for helping us shape the future!
Ramona Jurubiță
Country Managing Partner, KPMG in RomaniaI've had the chance to meet Diana at the right time, when we, at Hochland, were trying to figure out the coming months in the new Corona context. By using Foresight, Diana led us through a process where we imagined possible future scenarios and the business response within these scenarios. It has been a great journey that helped us grow at both professional and personal level. I strongly recommend Diana for her passion, strategic mind, determination and optimism. She will be a great partner for anyone who decides to lead his/her business into the future.
Andreea Marincescu
Marketing Director and Board Member at HochlandI teamed up with Diana on a strategic planning project in FMCG industry. I was impressed with Diana's strategic thinking, applied business knowledge and by her determination and hard work ethics. Any company that is serious about scenario planning should talk to Diana.
Vlad Ardeleanu
CEO Medima Health & Retail ExpertI have been working with futureStation team in several projects and it has been a real pleasure and valuable partnership to be in. We have built together a trends learning journey in Amsterdam for our High Potential colleagues and a broader immersion into future trends experience for the leadership population of Carrefour Romania.
Ana Krasovschi
HR Director CarrefourDuring our last European Field Marketing Partners meeting we were surprised by a great Consumer Trends Workshop. I learned that after this workshop I will think in a different way about Trends. It’s gives you more inside in how to see if a trend is a trend? And how you can use a trend towards consumers. Thanks again Magda Ropotan and Diana Stafie for the inspiring workshop, we will see each other again!
