In January 2021, Quantumrun Foresight launched the beta version of the Quantumrum Foresight Platform.
The long term goal of this platform is for it to serve as a collaboration tool that will enable your team to plan and develop strategies and business offerings that can impact your organization’s medium to long term success.
A critical way the Platform offers its users the flexibility they need to foresee tomorrow’s opportunities in the present is through leveraging the Platform’s different content types. These content types represent the first feature that we will be launching this year.
In total, the Platform supports nine different content types, with each having specific characteristics that you and your team can use to make sense of the uncertainty that may lie before your organization and the industry it operates in.
The nine different content types on the platform are:
- Signals — Each signal post is primarily composed of an insightful link to news, insights, and data from external websites, journals, and databases that hint at one or more emerging trends. These posts are accessible to all platform users and the signal posts found in the homepage, trend signals page, and category pages are all manually uploaded or moderated by Quantumrun staff.
- Insights — Insight posts are short-form articles (300-500 words on average) that discuss novel and often multidisciplinary insights gained from the signal posts noted above. Access to this post type is primarily restricted to paying platform subscribers.
- Forecasts — Forecast posts are long-form articles (2,000 words on average) that discuss novel and often multidisciplinary macro insights gained from the insight posts noted above. Access to this post type is primarily restricted to paying platform subscribers, but older forecasts may be released for general public access.
- Scenarios — Scenario posts are long-form articles (2,000-3,000 words on average) that depict several future possible scenarios inspired by the forecast posts noted above, with each scenario providing multidisciplinary insights. Access to this post type is primarily restricted to paying platform subscribers, but older scenario posts may be released for general public access.
- Forecast data pages — For years, one of the most popular parts of the Quantumrun.com website was the future timeline and country timeline pages that detailed predictions that span between 2020 to 2050. These pages are updated annually and are accessible by all website visitors.
- Lists — Lists are bookmarked collections that can contain any of the post types described above. These lists are created by Quantumrun staff but others are curated by platform users; however, only those lists that were moderated by Quantumrun staff are searchable on the platform. Lists can be set to public or private based on the list owner’s preference. All registered platform users can create lists and all platform users can view lists that have been set to ‘public.’
- Videos and podcasts — Quantumrun Foresight’s multimedia team often recontextualizes the insights from the post types above into a video or audio format to appeal to users who prefer those mediums. Access to multimedia content is available to all platform users.
- Sponsored content — In consultation with Quantumrun Foresight, organizations can sponsor content of any type listed above. This content can be produced by Quantumrun staff or by the organization. Production and distribution of this content is primarily to achieve specific promotional or research goals.
