Breakthrough Software
and Systemic Methods
for Complexity Management

Complex issues require specific methods and tools. Future Insight Maps (FIM) is an organization dedicated to advancing systemic methods and tools in a world where today’s leaders are under increasing pressure to be productive amidst high levels of uncertainty and complexity.

WindTunneling: a tool to test and enhance the resilience of current and projected strategies has been developed, tested, and proven over two decades in executive teams of some of the world’s largest companies and government agencies – and now is available in a web-based, software package.  Like any tool, optimization of its use depends on inspired teaching, practice, collaboration in applications, as well as quality mentoring. 

The new Windtunneling software enables quicker, deeper, virtual collaboration while advancing the knowledge and thinking capacities (both systemic and critical) of up to 60 participants.  The insights developed by participants create powerful reference points on maps of the organization’s future, building confidence and context for decisions that need to be made today. WindTunnel projects incorporate the imagination and disciplined, rigorous thought of participants who are either in the building or around the world. Multiple projects with differing strategies can run simultaneously, led by in-house facilitation teams.

Future Insight Maps provides initial consulting for WindTunneling projects, as well as Centers for broader-based, systemic professional development in Australia, California, and Brussels.  FIM offers in-house professional development programs for specific clients, in addition to licenses for the use of the WindTunnel software. Complex issues require specific methods and tools.  Future Insight Maps is an organization of people who bring a new generation of methods and tools for complex issues---methods and tools that support decision-makers under pressure to develop resilient and innovative strategies.
