"Your new project scoping system is a lot more relevant and user-friendly than similar systems I've tested - it's clear and easy to use in terms of defining project needs and resources for foresight projects, while the topics ensure that the projects are planned in a very thorough way. Another value add service from Shaping Tomorrow.

"The public school 8th graders in Vienna, WV, USA, continue to work with Foresight and Shaping Tomorrow as a tool to educate them about HOW technology is used outside the public school system. Even the latest Shaping Tomorrow newsletter will be part of the class discussion as we look at how a site "evolves, self-assesses, serves and improves." Parents have shown an equally enthusiastic response toward their students accessing this site; some indicated this site was new to them and of professional interest, as well."
Barbara McCullough - Jackson Middle School (United States)

I receive nothing but great feedback/comments on the new direction we’ve taken, how it links our trends across the organization, and the "slick" new platform/Horizon Scan. It has also fostered even stronger discussions with our innovation and planning teams. People are telling me they look forward to receiving it each month. Great job to everyone!"
Jeffrey Baker - BP (United States)

"I think you are making a great contribution to the building of Futures Studies as discipline and a body of knowledge that is practical and necessary ... There is a feeling among many futurists that they are working alone and get little support. Shaping Tomorrow and the Foresight Network are great ways to build solidarity and cooperation. Great Job. "
Natalie Dian, Director - Visionscentret Framtidsbygget AB (Sweden)

"Thanks for taking the lead on the community of interest called "the Future". We need a flag and a portal to rally around in virtual space. I appreciate the robustness of your vision and services.

"Shaping Tomorrow is great!"
Frances Toler, Senior Education Specialist - Federal Agency (United States)

"As editor of a marketing magazine I appreciate your page as a very helpful research tool -well structured, interesting mix of news, always something to discover. Certainly it is important to comment on the present but without glimpses into the future you are not able to get at least an idea of the big picture and of course the readers appreciate to learn about what the (marketing) world of tomorrow might look like. So your site is a source of inspiration to me and last but not least: Isn't it just exciting to stretch your mind to future dimensions? "
Sabine Wegner - WA Verlag / Promotion Business (Germany)

"This site is simply excellent. Supported by leading futurists from around the world, it is also excellent value for money ... highly recommended."
Michael Keenan - PREST, University of Manchester (United Kingdom)

"This is a fantastic idea. And as Victor Hugo once said:"There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come.""
José Cordeiro, Transhumanism - Sociedad Mundial del Futuro (Venezuela)

"Excellent site/service. I spend the first hour working day trawling news and opportunities and have a set programme of links and a routine for examining updates. This service provides me not only with a wealth of new links, but also a simple discipline for confirming what I should already be doing (today)with future planning (tomorrow)and creative thinking (future views). It is possibly this last section that appeals to me most. The global views and wild cards trigger all sorts of associations and ideas for new business opportunities. I can see that the pricing enables not only senior management and SMEs to subscribe (the cost is a no-brainer), but also individuals within organisations and independent consultants, such as myself, who can use the resources to develop their own applications and business scenarios. I also like the collaborative aspect and recognise the potential for future development. Certainly from your own point of view it is a splendid calling card to explore future developments with subscribers and generate further income whilst keeping costs low. Well done."
Owen Knight - Applegate Business Consultants Limited (United Kingdom)

"A portal that assists in predicting change and the pace of that change is critical for any organisation that wants to be involved in shaping the future."
John Acton, Marketing Manager - Geopost, UK.

"What a great resource! I am overwhelmed. If this had existed 15 years ago, it would not have taken me eleven years to write FOUNDATIONS OF FUTURES STUDIES. On Shaping Tomorrow, the insights and developments of the futures field are brought together and made accessible. Not only scholars, but also decision makers from business and governmental to military and educational will find these tools essential for their work. How did we get by without it?"
Wendell Bell, Senior Research Scientist and Professor Emeritus - Yale University (United States)

"Emerald is very happy to be officially associated with Shaping Tomorrow. The site is clean and clear, attractive to the eye, very easy to navigate and takes you easily and quickly to exactly the information or resource you want. As an international publisher of management journals and databases we recognise the vital importance of ensuring that busy professionals can find what they need instantly, without wasting their precious time. At a time when information overload has never been greater Shaping Tomorrow provides just what is needed to make the Futurist and Business Strategists life easier."
Jenny Pickles, New Business Development and Content Licensing Manager - Emerald (United Kingdom)

"Up til now, dealing with the future has been a mysterious mix of fatalism and hope. At this time, however, futurists are emerging as recognized professionals. Shaping Tomorrow is a crucial step in this process by aggregating futures products and benefits in an electronic format perhaps the first profession to do so since the beginning of the Internet era."
Peter C. Bishop - University of Houston at Clear Lake City, USA (United States)

"Anything which helps to make sense of the future is to be welcomed by business executives. A site such as this, which provides an organised and comprehensive approach to the future, is - in my view - essential for business leaders."
Anthony Thomson, Chairman - Financial Services Forum, UK (United Kingdom)
