DSI has worked with numerous clients, industry organizations, and academic institutions in the creation of our future scenarios studies. For example, for our report on The Future of BioSciences: Four Scenarios for 2020 and Their Implications For Human Healthcare, DSI senior consultants led a team of management researchers from the Mack Center for Technological Innovation at the Wharton School to develop four scenarios that describe the commercialization potential of emerging bioscience technologies from now until 2020.

The report provides insights of interest and value to decision makers in organizations that develop, deploy or benefit from bioscience technologies. DSI has conducted a number of similar future scenario studies across a wide range of industries including the following:

• Services for the Aging in America: Four Scenarios for the Next Decade
• 2010: Scenarios for Credit Unions
• The Future of BioSciences
• The Future of Life Insurance
• The Future of IT Support Services
• The Future of Human Resource Management
• The Future of Dairy in the United States
• The Future of Nursing
• The Future of Legal Organizations (in development)

DSI scenario reports do not predict the future - no one can do that -- but they do map possible divergent futures for specific industries. As a practical application, senior managers and strategic planners use these industry "meta scenarios" as a foundation to develop strategies for what may lie ahead.

Select DSI future scenarios can be purchased online. If you are interested in having DSI build a scenario report and/or conduct a scenario study for your industry, we welcome interest in sponsoring a future scenarios report.
