Who we are - SKOPIA Anticipation Services

Our history

SKOPIA was born in 2015. Its scope was to turn knowledge and theory related to Futures Studies and Anticipation into actual tools that could help organizations to implement successful changes.

Over the course of the years, SKOPIA has created specific methods and tools that organizations could use to visualize and implement desirable futures.

Our mission

SKOPIA’s mission is to foster the Anticipation culture by research, applied “skopia-methodology”, training, from elementary to graduate level of education, and among professionals, especially decision makers and managers, in companies, public administrations and politics.

SKOPIA’s mission is also to facilitate change and support organizational transformation through consultancy involving complex future exercises. This aims to achieve governance changes, implement innovations, and make companies or administrations more resilient.
