Don’t Stop thinking about tomorrow is Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies’ first Don’t Stop confernce and hopefully just the beginning of a long range of international futures conferences. This year we have chosen to focus on business innovation.
Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies has more than 35 years of experience in corporate foresight. The objective of the CIFS is to strengthen the basis for decision-making in public and private organisations by creating awareness of the future and highlighting its importance to the present.
CIFS was founded in 1970 by Professor Thorkil Kristensen, former Minister of Finance and Secretary-General of the OECD. It was set up in co-operation with a number of visionary organisations wanting to qualify their basis for making decisions through futures studies. Since then, CIFS has been at the front edge of developments of new working methods and analysis tools. These are regularly revised and improved in line with new knowledge and experience acquired, for instance through the CIFS contacts with research communities around the world.
CIFS is part of a number of global networks and participates regularly in conferences and roundtables. These exchanges of new ideas and visions provide the Institute with a global perspective and a strong basis for multinational projects. Due to its size, a highly educated and experienced staff and co-operation with other international research teams, the Institute is capable of taking on a wide variety of tasks, including very complex ones.
