About Futurizon

Note: this site is now a mirror copy of Futurizon.com. Futurizon.com is no longer connected with the futures wiki FutureNovo nor Richard Yonck, but their site is worth a visit anyway.

Futurizon was set up initially as a speaker agency, but has recently expanded to engage in a variety of futures activities, including consultancy, strategy assistance, conference speaking, commissioned writing, media work and consultancy. One of our main purposes is to influence thinking to help make the world a better place, so some of our advice and written output is free. You will hopefully find our Futures A-Z both useful and entertaining.

Futurizon aims to explore all aspects of the future, without constraint, starting from an analysis of likely technology developments and using clear thinking to figure out likely consequences across the board of society, politics and business, and to make appropriate recommendations. It provides an independent view of the future, unconstrained by the academic’s need to attract funding or the corporate futurologist’s concerns over impact of results on corporate brand image or market positioning.

Everyone wonders what the future will bring. Many people and their companies are concerned and want advice, and we are here to help. No-one can see the future with total clarity - it is like trying to spot shapes through fog - but blurred vision is better than none at all. Futurizon's in-house futurologist is Ian Pearson, who recently left BT, having established their futurology work. He spends a great deal of time reading, attending conferences and talking to engineers and uses these inputs as a starting point for thinking about all aspects of the future. We also have excellent relationships with many other futurologists, with whom we work on other projects from time to time.
