Let intelligent AI capabilities simplify your work. Keeping up with the latest trends and technologies has never been easier. Utilize AI to source, cluster, and make sense of information effortlessly.
FIBRES helps to automate some of our signal detection processes, utilising AI to surface only the most relevant content. It also acts as a ‘one-stop-shop’ for horizon scanning work, containing everything from the latest developments, through topic forming, trend analysis and how that fits into the wider landscape. It can also house all of the work done by our horizon scanning team and commentary on how emerging trends will impact on the business.
FIBRES has become a tool for us to gather relevant information we could use to monitor trends we have set our sights on. In the process, we have also discovered other trends that we did not think of previously, thanks to the AI picks feature that proposes new signals on the topics we're working on.
Aurecon uses FIBRES to run their foresight process. In these 10 videos, their futures research lead Noriko Wynn walks through the way they do foresight, complete with goals, roles, workflows, best practices, learnings, and more.
Think of FIBRES as a shared database for all your ideas, observations, and insights that have something to do with the future – and particularly the future of your business.
When you find something interesting about your operating environment, like news of competitor activity or a new innovation, you can save it to FIBRES as a finding.
FIBRES then makes it easy for you to structure, summarize, and visualize these findings. You can build trend radars out of them. Or link multiple findings together and summarize their impacts.
Over time, you will accumulate valuable information about changes in your operating environment, which will help you build the future of your business.
FIBRES is typically adopted by a core team of people whose daily responsibilities involve observing and making sense of changes around them.
You might be an in-house expert working with topics related to strategy, innovation, or foresight. Or you might be a foresight, strategy, or innovation consultant helping your customers succeed.
In these roles, FIBRES brings instant value by providing a shared place to collect findings and make sense of them. From FIBRES, information can then be fed into strategy processes, innovation projects, and more.
For many of our customers, the ultimate goal is to create a foresight process where many people – even their entire organization – participate. To be able to do so, a tool like FIBRES is essential.
Unlike many other vendors of foresight tools and software, we are not a trend data provider. Our focus is on building the best platform for you to bring in inputs from your favourite sources, whatever they may be.
Instead of creating our own data sets, we partner with leading trend data providers to bring their data to you via FIBRES. We have also developed our own sourcing service FIBRESEED for automatic monitoring.
With FIBRES, it's always possible to start out with a completely empty account and only write and add findings manually yourself – and many of our customers do, in fact! With FIBRES, the choice is always yours.
