About us

Future Creation Ltd specialises in futures research, analysis and training. It works creatively with private, public and voluntary sector organisations to build long-term future success. Staff are experts on potential future change and offer support to clients as they explore the opportunities and threats the future may present. They can also help organisations restructure their long-term objectives and build robust strategic plans. Focus is on 2010 onwards.

Our company advises people on choice of futures tools and techniques and helps them plan effective responses to potential change. It also undertakes futures research, offers 'futures literacy' training courses, mentors people with futures responsibilities and provides speakers on a wide range of futures topics.

The company particularly encourages approaches to futures consultancy that take account of the way project outputs will be used by sponsors. In this way it helps organisations avoid spending money on projects that are enjoyable to undertake but fail to generate real long-term business benefit. It also encourages people to consider their 'preferred future' as well as how they respond to externally driven 'potential' change.

Future Creation Ltd is directed by Susan Clayton, a futurist and strategic planner with a wealth of experience as a senior manager, consultant, trainer, speaker, writer and researcher. She has been consulted by the Department of Trade and Industry, European Union and Cabinet Office on planning for the future and has clients in business, central government and the public and voluntary sectors in the United Kingdom and overseas. Before setting up Future Creation Ltd Susan was on secondment for two years to the Department of Trade and Industry's influential Future and Innovation Unit, a Regional Director with the Open University, Head of Corporate Planning with the London Borough of Richmond, lecturer on public policy and research methods at Lancaster University and an independent business adviser. She is also an accredited DTI Foresight consultant.

The consultants working with Future Creation are highly specialised in futures, creativity, scenarios development, strategic planning or the topic of particular interest to the client. They have mostly been senior managers in industry or have an academic background.
