“Creative Futures created a thoughtful and tailored presentation for our team. The session was an excellent introduction to futurist approaches and Jessica and Heather were great at finding ways to garner participation and engagement from all in an online format. Thank you!”

“Creative Futures helped The City of Calgary visualize possible long-term future scenarios, helping us determine solutions and actions beyond reacting to the present moment. Highly professional, personable and competent, they produced exactly what we were looking for, on-time and budget. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to navigate through an ever increasingly complex and changing future.”

“We were looking for a partner that could help us frame a transformational new strategy related to People-Centred Care at North York General and the team at Creative Futures were very effective in helping us get there. They bring a fresh approach to strategic planning that blends traditional organizational strategy with foresight to future-proof the work we do. They are a pleasure to work with and highly recommend them to anyone that is looking at building an innovative strategy for their organization.”

“The team at Creative Futures know and care about their craft deeply. They have an appetite and aptitude to understand not only the domain of the project they are working on, but also the broader context that informs it. Through my projects with them I have both learned from their approach and insights, and had fun while doing it!”

“Creative Futures took our vision for engaging nonprofits in a virtual think tank and brought it to life for 90 minutes where participants learned something new and contributed on a complex topic.”

“Working with Jessica and Heather from Creative Futures was both a productive and pleasant experience. I found them to be very flexible while still managing to maintain focus on the ultimate goal of an expansion plan and roadmap that our Board could endorse. They are truly collaborative and offered excellent support on a critical piece of work for Mothercraft!”

“Heather and Jessica lead a national, complex, multi-stakeholder project that required a number of pivots to respond to changing pandemic conditions. The team at Creative Futures brought the latest in innovative engagement methodologies to deliver high value for partners, participants and funders. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, I didn’t worry about year-long initiative because I was confident it was always in the best hands.”

“Jessica Thornton and Heather Russek provided an engaging and meaningful dialogue at our conference on the future of work and what to expect in the years to come. They were able to tailor their message to our diverse audience and ensure the attendees were engaged and participating, even on a virtual platform. They were also able to pivot their presentation to accommodate changes that were brought on by the pandemic.”

“Creative Futures provided us with an outside perspective on our strengths and opportunities, and helped us clarify a range of dynamic possibilities for future directions. Heather and Jessica gave us a clear and flexible strategy for moving forward that took into account uncertainties and changes in media arts and performance that we can't yet anticipate.”

“Working with Jessica and Heather through a strategic foresight process helped many of us who are thinking deeply about the future of the performance sector move through the tangle and complexity of this moment. We’re not leaving this complexity behind, of course, rather we are harnessing it to envision new possibilities.”

“Heather and Jessica are fantastic consultants. They are extremely responsive, collaborative and our final report was one of the best I have ever seen. I would highly recommend them and would work with them again!”
