Questions about SEEK
-
Horizon scanning is a strategic foresight technique for systematically identifying emerging trends, weak signals, risks and opportunities before they become mainstream. It helps leaders look beyond immediate pressures, understand how their external environment is shifting and explore what those changes could mean for their organisation. Done well, horizon scanning turns emerging change into informed strategic decisions. SEEK, Firetail’s horizon scanning subscription, makes this tailored, flexible and continuous, so charity leaders can see what’s coming and shape what’s next.
-
SEEK is designed for senior leaders in UK mission-driven organisations: charity chief executives, directors of strategy, senior leadership teams, trustees and board chairs, and policy, research and insight leads. It’s particularly suited to charities, foundations and funders, membership and professional bodies, and public bodies that need a clear view of the future but don’t have an in-house foresight team.
-
Because the world doesn’t stop changing. Emerging technologies, shifting funding landscapes, policy change and evolving societal needs are already shaping your charity’s future. Horizon scanning helps you spot these trends early, anticipate risks, identify new opportunities and strengthen organisational resilience. You can’t predict the future, but you can prepare for it. Strategic foresight gives trustees and leadership teams the confidence to make better decisions under uncertainty and keep their mission relevant for the long term.
-
SEEK is tailored to your strategy. We agree scanning themes with you, interpret what each development could mean for your organisation and pose questions for your leadership team. Briefings are timed to your board cycle so they feed into real decisions.
-
SEEK is a subscription service available in three tiers (Silver, Gold and Platinum), so you can choose the level of strategic intelligence and support that suits your organisation. Not sure which tier is right for you? Book a conversation with our team to find the best fit.
-
SEEK delivers quarterly horizon scanning briefings, giving your organisation a board-ready view of what’s coming four times a year. We can also align delivery dates with your board or executive meeting cycle, so the latest strategic intelligence arrives when decisions are being made.
-
Yes. SEEK is tailored to your organisation’s mission, priorities and strategic context. Before scanning begins, we agree the themes, sectors and questions that matter most to you, and shape your reports around how your leadership team and board make decisions. The result is personalised horizon scanning that surfaces the emerging trends relevant to you.

How SEEK works
SEEK is Firetail’s horizon-scanning subscription service which combines AI-powered horizon scanning with expert analysis to deliver tailored strategic intelligence for charity leaders.
We identify changes relevant to your organisation, assess their implications and help you consider what to do next.
Each quarterly report brings together emerging trends, recent evidence and strategic questions, with developments prioritised by potential impact and urgency. We also include tailored executive summaries and a set of key strategic questions and provocations for the organisation.
Alongside the scanning reports, we offer a complete strategic foresight service built around three pillars: Curate, Connect and Direct.
Curate gives you tailored horizon scanning, custom reports on the signals and trends you choose, and a custom GPT to explore our database of trends, signals and developments.
Connect opens up Firetail’s network of experts and leaders, with webinars, expert roundtables and futures thinking training for your team.
Direct turns strategic intelligence into action, with Board-ready executive summaries, strategic questions and provocations, and facilitated leadership and Board sessions.
