Looking Up Feeling Good’s advanced signals reporting service ‘Future Alerts’ is now available as a monthly subscription offering. Designed to provide your organisation with signals indicating potential change, each report comes with analysis of the signals and how they might impact your business. Applying some advanced Environmental Scanning process, including the ‘VSTEEP’ model, you can have the report customised to specific areas of interest a long with analysis that ensures the report is as immediately releveant as you desire.
Strategic Futurist Marcus Barber and his team search the globe looking for early signals of change in your industry.

Why wait for yesterday’s news when you can have next year’s? Contact us today to arrange your subscription to this exceptionally powerful report – 613 9445 0289
