Introduction to our services
Our services cover the complete sustainability journey: from inspiring the change, assess the current state, strategizing the plan, implementing the changes, and measuring the impact.
Our organization is structured into three distinct business units: Organizational and Sector Strategy, Strategic Data Analytics, and TransMission. Each of these units has a unique focus and set of capabilities, but together they offer a comprehensive suite of services designed to guide you through every stage of the sustainability journey.
Our services
Keynotes
A successful event inspires, educates, and motivates its attendees to take action. If you’re searching for a keynote speaker or a master of ceremony who can elevate your sustainability conference to the next level, we’ve got you covered. Our speakers are knowledgeable and engage and energize the audience with high energy, humor, and an unwavering commitment to sustainability. Their goal is to inspire people to take meaningful action and achieve remarkable results.
Inspiration Workshops
We offer inspiration workshops on a variety of topics, from systems thinking to transition management and benchmarking. Our workshops are designed to provide you with the tools and knowledge you need to tackle sustainability challenges head-on. You’ll leave feeling inspired and empowered to make a positive impact.
Changing the Game Training
Our unique four-day intensive ‘Changing the Game’ course is designed to equip you with the skills and mindset you need to lead successful transition processes. This course will help you understand why tough sustainability challenges persist and provide you with a deep understanding of the market dynamics in which your organization operates. You’ll learn to recognize the different phases of the transition cycle, determine which actors should be involved, and take decisive action. With the right mindset, you’ll be ready to communicate your plan with conviction and achieve your goals.
Benchmarking and Gap Assessment
Our comprehensive benchmarking service helps your organization measure their sustainability efforts against industry standards and best practices. It involves assessing current sustainability performance, analyzing gaps, and developing improvement plans. It identifies areas where improvements can be made in environmental, social, and economic impact. The benchmarking service gives your organization a competitive edge in your industry.
Mission Setting
Mission setting is a service that helps your organization establish clear and measurable sustainability goals through workshops, benchmarking, and stakeholder engagement. This gives you a compelling direction for your sustainability journey, aligns sustainability efforts with your overall strategy, and enables monitoring and reporting on sustainability performance.
Market scans and intelligence
We work with frontrunning companies to assess market opportunities to launch new, innovative sustainability products (input products, credit products, consumer products). We help to assess market sizing, opportunities and risks related to local and global market regulations, main competitors, willingness to pay, as well as understand which market and customer segments to target.
Strategy Development
We support your organization in developing a long-term strategy to overcome sustainability challenges and turn them into market opportunities. This service integrates sustainability into core business strategy and operations, manages risks and creates new revenue streams. It positions your organization as a sustainability leader and attracts socially-responsible investors.
Business Case
There is a strong business case for sustainability and we help you build it. A business case helps your organization quantify the financial benefits of sustainability initiatives, align them with business strategies and goals, and secure funding. The service enables you to attract new customers, retain existing ones, and communicate the financial benefits of sustainability to stakeholders.
Roadmap Development
When it is clear in which direction you want to go, we help get you there. A clear roadmap guides you in the implementation of your sustainability strategy. It prioritizes sustainability initiatives, sets milestones and timelines, and outlines how to monitor progress.
Impact assessment and impact due dilligence
An impact assessment provides your organization with an initial evaluation of the potential impact of your sustainability initiatives. It helps you to set realistic sustainability targets and prioritize impactful sustainability initiatives. We can conduct impact evaluations at a systems level to assess potential of multistakeholder initiatives and government policies, for organization-wide strategies to prioritize pathways, and on interventions within an individual sustainability program. This product has been useful to organizations developing new long-term strategies, to impact investors conducting their impact due diligence, and to public institutions assessing policy interventions.
Partnership Brokering
Being a leader in sustainability requires collaboration. We help you build and strengthen your partnerships. Our extensive experience in building the right governance structure, creating the right incentives for partners and resource mobilization help you to create more value and thus more impact.
Strategic Partnership
The implementation of a sustainability strategy can sometimes feel like reinventing the wheel. This does not have to be the case. With our 15 years of experience, we know what works and which pitfalls to avoid. We can be your long term partner in delivering market-driven solutions to sustainability issues.
Long-term Management
NewForesight has initiated many impact organizations. This by either acting as the secretariat or by being part of the secretariat. We develop the strategy, convene the groups of stakeholders, develop the programs and manage the implementation of the complete sustainability journey. Examples include: the Organic Cotton Accelerator, the Green Protein Alliance, the Workforce Nutrition Alliance and Cocoa Action.
Monitoring & Evaluation framework
The setup of a M&E Framework makes tracking and evaluating the effectiveness of the sustainability strategy more efficient. It involves defining sustainability goals and indicators, developing a monitoring plan, and establishing an evaluation framework. The monitoring & evaluation framework service supports organizations in making data-driven decisions, improving performance, and meeting regulatory requirements and investor expectations.
Impact evaluation
We conduct impact evaluations to help monitor the impact of your organization. It involves defining clear impact goals and indicators, collecting data, analysing data, and reporting to stakeholders. NewForesight can help you identify areas for improvement, communicate the impact, and enhance their reputation as a socially responsible organization.
Feasibility studies
Our feasibility studies help you understand the viability of a new investment into a sustainability program or supply chain structure. We consider all critical components of a project to assess if it’s feasible, as well as identifying the main risks and modelling potential impact if these risks occur. Underlying all our studies is a clear focus on the business case and ensuring a return on the investment. We have helped our clients understand feasibility of new novel production methods, production in previous inarable areas, establishing more resilient supply chains, and much more.
TransMission Domain
We support clients in navigating the sustainability transitions in their sector. We work with individual organizations, as well as sector-wide partnerships. We understand that building purpose-driven organizations is key to achieving a sustainable future.
Our team of experts brings together a wealth of knowledge and experience in sustainability, strategy, and organizational development. We combine cutting-edge research and proven methodologies to help our clients achieve their sustainability goals and make a positive impact on their markets.
