Example: Master's thesis
For his Master's thesis, André Ribeiro developed a cutting-edge trend radar for a leading energy corporation. Leveraging FIBRES, his project delivered exceptional outcomes and work quality.
"[In my Master's thesis project for a large energy company] we benefitted from the existence of a single horizon scanning platform where all stakeholders of the organization can participate, publish and contribute in a more dynamic way to the identification, selection and evaluation of the most important forces of change for the future of the organization."
André Ribeiro, Master student, Lisbon School of Economics & Management, Universidade de Lisboa
"Since innovation is largely about coming up with the right idea at the right time, we wanted to familiarize the students with some foresight methodologies – more specifically signal sourcing, clustering, and sense-making. FIBRES provided the students with a place to save their findings on their perceived problems and strengths, and to organize those findings."
Joris Fokkelman, Guest lecturer, OTH Regensburg
