The future does not happen. It is created.

We help businesses shape their desired future(s)

Imagination provides the building blocks for thinking about the future.
With sufficient imagination, our capacity to create, build, and grow expands.
Yet, in an era of peak uncertainty, many businesses struggle to imagine beyond the current horizon.
We step in and provide trusted guidance to help businesses think about their future and
build readiness for tomorrow.

How we add value

Helping businesses think about the future and explore possibilities

Foresee future possibilities

Uncover future opportunities that sit beyond current strategies, assumptions, and planning horizons.

Foster future-fit companies

Shift from short-term problem solving to decisions informed by long-term thinking.

Forge futures intelligence

Use foresight and futures studies methodologies to help businesses make future-related decisions and gain a competitive advantage.

Who is this for?

• Teams who are expected to make decisions today that will shape the long-term future of their organisation
• Companies that want to uncover future opportunities beyond their current strategic plans
• Leaders who sense that current strategies are no longer sufficient for what lies ahead
• Leaders tasked with setting a 1 to 5 year vision.

We address these issues by grounding our approach in proven futures studies methodologies, strategic frameworks, and practical foresight tools.

What we offer

We offer a range of futures facilitation pathways

Shaping Tomorrow
workshop

Our signature one- to two-day futures lab equips teams to anticipate change, explore opportunities, and align on actions that prepare them for the future.

Selective sessions

Half-day sprint sessions
Fractional Leadership engagements
Three to six month multi-session futures journeys

Custom sessions

Tailored workshops that suit your needs.
These sessions are carefully designed around your specific context, priorities, and challenges.

Pain points we help overcome

• Limited by short-term thinking, focusing on immediate issues rather than strategic opportunities
• Struggling to adapt effectively in rapidly changing and uncertain environments
• Lacking clarity and confidence in long-term direction and priorities
• Unable to anticipate or proactively respond to evolving customer needs and market shifts
• Operating with restricted imagination, limiting the ability to see opportunities beyond current assumptions

Be future ready

Forward-thinking organisations create the future rather than just reacting to it.
This makes thinking about the future no longer a “nice to have” for businesses, but an essential asset. Many leaders and organisations have not been taught how to think about the future and feel that they are navigating a world changing faster than their organisations can evolve.
We support businesses in navigating this challenge and building futures readiness.

The vision behind the work

Imagine Futures is a futures facilitation company founded by Divan Vrey.
Divan is deeply passionate about futures thinking and finds purpose in helping people and organisations envision and prepare for a better tomorrow.

He holds two master’s degrees from Stellenbosch University, including one specialising in Anticipatory Leadership - the leadership capacity of anticipating the future. He furthered his expertise in Futures Studies at Stellenbosch Business School. With over a decade of leadership experience and a foundation in social innovation, Divan is a trusted partner in guiding individuals and organisations to design their desired future.

Why think about the future?

When an organisation starts with the present, its strategy is constrained by the way things are. When it starts with the future, its strategy is shaped by what is possible rather than limitations.

Shaping Tomorrow
workshop

A structured and facilitated foresight experience designed to help your organisation step back from the urgency of the present and engage with the future. We explore signals of change as well as multiple future possibilities to inform better decisions today. By working with possible, probable, and preferred futures, we disrupt linear thinking and uncover new strategic possibilities.This interactive workshop develops futures thinking through established methods, helping organisations understand what is coming, what is possible, and what is meaningful. Our insight challenges the “business-as-usual” mindset which assumes the future will mirror the present.
The outcome is a move from reactive planning toward resilient strategic foresight and future readiness.

It will challenge assumptions, expand strategic imagination, and develop a grounded understanding of multiple plausible futures.

Custom sessions

Our tailored sessions address the unique challenges and strategic goals of your organisation. These engagements are shaped around your strategic questions, industry dynamics, and leadership needs. This ensures that futures work is not abstract or theoretical,
but directly connected to the decisions and realities you face.

Why think about the future?

In an era of rapid change, the ability to imagine different futures is an essential leadership skill. Without it, organisations can easily stay stuck in the assumptions that created their current state.

When your leadership is restricted by short-term thinking, you aren't just missing opportunities;
you are building a business on a foundation that the future has already outgrown.

Selective sessions

For organisations seeking a deep and immersive engagement with futures thinking, our one- to two-day Shaping Tomorrow workshop offers the most comprehensive experience.We also offer additional options if you require a different approach.For organisations with limited time or more specific needs, we also offer high-impact futures insight sessions. These shorter engagements are designed to deliver concentrated exposure to futures thinking, equipping teams with practical tools and perspectives they can immediately apply.
While more focused in scope, these sessions still introduce key futures concepts, highlight critical uncertainties, and help organisations make better-informed decisions in the present.

Recognising that no two organisations are the same, additional formats and customised approaches are available. Whether the need is strategic alignment, futures leadership development, or exploratory futures work, sessions can be adapted to fit your context, constraints, and objectives.
