Partner to Invent the Future of your Customers and Industry

In a perfect world, you would be able to predict the future of your industry, dream up new products and services to meet expected new demands, and develop these new offerings by yourself. Well, even the largest corporations are deciding they can't do it all alone.

In an Innovation Focus FutureBuild Alliance you partner with other companies to create the future. Alliance partners typically are non-competeing companies that are focused on the same markets and customers.

Through a FutureBuild Alliance you can:

 |
Share research and other learnings |
 |
Turn this new information into future scenarios for your industry |
 |
Brainstorm hundreds of product and service concepts that fit these scenarios |
 |
Build a proprietary future strategy and a portfolio of concepts unique to your company |
 |
Form joint ventures with the other partners to help in implementation |

Shared innovation can build commitment to ideas and ventures like nothing else can. A FutureBuild Alliance is a great way to start and build a partnership. Many members of past alliances remain partners today.

Past participants include GE, 3M, Black & Decker, DuPont, Johnson & Johnson, Ford, Unilever, Abbott Laboratories, Armstrong and Arthur D. Little.

The process itself is fast-paced and fun; the results will position you for a prosperous future.
