The Future is Hidden in Plain Sight.

A national study of how leaders in Australia plan for tomorrow.

Are you alive to the future?

This unique study is exploring how leaders and organisations in Australia engage with the future. The findings will be released in December 2025.

  • Why the study matters

    Organisations that anticipate and adapt to future shifts gain a strategic edge. This is your chance to contribute to a national report that rethinks how foresight is used by business, government, and impact organisations.

  • What will we explore?

    We will explore how leaders engage with uncertainty, how strategy aligns with values and what future-facing capabilities are being built or ignored.

  • What is the study about?

    The Future is Hidden in Plain Sight is a research study by Erada Advisory, Tank, and Taylor & Grace. We're exploring how organisational leaders across Australia plan for what’s next — and what’s needed now.
