Below you will find comments previously sent to us from our users.
"I have had a look at various foresight tools and platforms and have to say that yours is by far the most advanced and certainly quite a benchmark. I am looking forward to follow up with you on the possibility to employ it at Deutsche Telekom"
Rene Rohrbeck - Deutsche Telekom Laboratories (Germany)
"I have been impressed with your site - one of the best in the field."
"ST is fabulous ... and I would like to see if we can do something together ..."
"Shaping Tomorrow is possibly the most popular website devoted to future studies. It offers a wealth of scanning information on trends, strategies, and articles, and has recently started a Foresight Network of more than one thousand futurists. I think you are leading the futurist community now with the Foresight Network. A brilliant strategy and great leadership. Congratulations!"
"Shaping Tomorrow has been a great resource for my futuring and consulting work. They are providing an unduplicated service to strategists and foresight consultants."
"Henley Centre ended up using the Shaping Tomorrow platform to build our trends management system ... We're now also rolling out a trends monitoring system for a client on the ST platform. "
"Shaping Tomorrow is a top competitor in this field, in both price and value. It's wide scanning, and trend database a great jump start to companies."
"I very much enjoy the e-newsletter and always look forward to seeing what's next."
"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. "
"Shaping Tomorrow is best of breed"
"The new Foresight Networks are great! I'll drop in again later in the week and start contributing."
"You really are doing a good job with this site. Keep it up!"
"I currently receive your Shaping Tomorrow newsletter and find it very informative ..."
"Shaping Tomorrow offer a unique product and one that accurately meets our needs. They have a passion for what they are doing and always strive to exceed our expectations."
"I had checked out Shaping Tomorrow in conjunction with our Introduction to the Futures course we are running here at BGSU Firelands.
"I find Shaping Tomorrow to be of great value. You are to be commended."
"Shaping Tomorrow is the most definitive site I've found for identifying and tracking future influences"
"Thank you for the fine information you send..... May I use it in my blog?"
"I especially like the fact that I am able to correspond with really knowledgeable contact people. I appreciate the insight and how we may need to "train" ourselves to think a little differently."
"Wow.... I signed on for your free registration and had a quick scan around. The video section is very good and I was impressed by the indexing and amount of quality articles which you now feature. Brilliant job. I'm now going to subscribe."
"Congratulations on the new version of Shaping Tomorrow. It is really a great evolution. Please set me up as a contributor and give me free access to your services."
"Congratulations with your new website. It looks great. Of course, I want to subscribe. I mustn’t miss it!"
"Congratulations on the lovely new Insight Newsletter format!"
"Wow, this is great stuff!"
"Thanks for your latest newsletter. I have forwarded this to my friends and associates. I am sure that they will be pleased to learn more about your amazing community and services"
"What a great website, the content is truly exciting and interesting"
"Your website/service is very interesting."
"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. There is nothing more important to this world at this moment of exploding social connectedness than a clear vision and intention for the future. You are helping us sort that out!"
"I find your information exciting, insightful, invaluable and informative. Today's changing events are as dynamically volatile as a raging sea. "Shaping Tomorrow" provides the captain of any ship a means of managing and, preferably, avoiding disaster."
"Great looking newsletter."
"Thanks a lot for featuring our European Futures Conference so prominently, that's marvellous."
"Thank you for the awesome service and the best of luck in all your future endeavours."
"...Since you advertised my site (www.jimcarroll.com) last week I have been inundated with visitors..."
"I've just checked all the Web sites that I had previously identified for you and found virtually all had gone. Makes me appreciate just how much work you and colleagues are putting into the site to keep it up to date."
"Hey!!! I just stumbled over this site trying to find tips on fashion trends...i'm only 15yrs. old but i'm glad that there is a site like this! it's awesome."
"Shaping Tomorrow is great!"
"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? "
"This site is simply excellent. Supported by leading futurists from around the world, it is also excellent value for money at £95 (ex VAT) per year ... highly recommended."
"This is a fantastic idea. And as Victor Hugo once said:"There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come.""
"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."
"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."
"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?"
"At a time when global challenges are exploding, I can think of no more worthy purpose than to connect all of us to the wealth of knowledge now languishing for lack of useful connectivity. The Shaping Tomorrow Web site could prove to be a potent catalyst for helping the world's people to collectively envision where we are going."
"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."
"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."
"We have hoped for a real futures portal for many years. Discussed it for what seems like e-eternity. But now it is a finally here. A wealth of resources on the future, about the future, and for the future. Congratulations."
"Shaping Tomorrow has our total support and we are delighted to be associated with this eminently valuable concept."
"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."
