The Institute of Behavioural Futures creates publications, tools, and learning resources that help individuals and organisations connect futures thinking with behavioural insight.
These resources are designed to support reflection, decision-making, strategy, learning and action. Some are free public outputs, while others are paid digital products or tools available through external checkout.

decision-makers, foresight professionals, educators, strategists, public sector actors and reflective practitioners.

The Ripple is a future-oriented decision journaling app that helps users explore how today’s choices may create short-, medium-, and long-term consequences.
It combines reflective decision journaling with behavioural insight and futures thinking. Users can record decisions, alternatives, and context, then explore possible ripple effects through different future lenses.
The app is designed to support slower, clearer, and more future-aware decision-making — especially when choices feel complex, uncertain, or emotionally loaded.
Best for:
individuals, professionals, students, leaders, and reflective practitioners who want to understand their decision patterns and think more carefully about future consequences.
Format:
Digital app/decision journal
The Quiet Future Portfolio – Behavioural Futures in Practice 2026 presents selected examples of how behavioural conditions shape strategy, systems, and everyday decisions.
The publication demonstrates how behavioural futures work can be applied in practice: not only by imagining preferred futures, but by examining the everyday conditions that determine whether those futures can actually take shape. It introduces the Quiet Future Framework and its six behavioural conditions — agency, defaults, friction, capacity, attention, and meaning — as a way to understand where strategy and behaviour align, and where they quietly drift apart.
The portfolio includes applied cases from urban mobility, a small food industry business in Finland, and wind energy in the Baltic Sea Region. Across these cases, the publication shows how strategic intent can be clear while behaviour remains stable because existing systems make old patterns easier, safer, or more familiar than new ones.
This publication is especially useful for organisations, partners, and collaborators who want to understand how behavioural futures thinking works in real contexts — and how it can support strategy, policy, innovation, organisational change, and future-oriented decision-making.
Best for:
strategy teams, public sector organisations, innovation actors, foresight professionals, organisational development practitioners, and potential advisory partners.

Future-oriented work can begin from many places: a report, a journal, a diagnostic, a workshop, or a conversation.
The best starting point depends on whether you want to understand change, reflect on your assumptions, strengthen strategy, redesign a decision environment, or build futures literacy in a team.
