Health, life sciences, and wellbeing leaders are surrounded by signals, emerging technologies, shifting behaviours, regulatory pressure, and societal expectations evolving at pace. The challenge is not access to information. It is knowing which signals matter, how they connect, and what they may imply for your organisation.
Provocations exists to create space for strategic thinking beyond the immediate horizon.
This service explores “what might be” by connecting emerging trends with systemic patterns and futures insight. Rather than predicting outcomes, we surface meaningful possibilities, grounded in evidence, shaped by context, and designed to stretch current thinking.

Most organisations are optimised to respond to what is already visible:
| known markets
| established customers
| defined problems
What is harder, and often missed, are the early signals that sit at the edges or overlaps of systems. These signals may not yet look like opportunities or threats, but they often point to where value, risk, or disruption is forming.
Without deliberate provocation, strategy defaults to incrementalism.
Our approach
Provocations applies Systems Thinking and Futures Thinking to interpret signals in context, across organisational, market, and societal scales.
We:
| identify weak and emerging signals across the health and wellbeing ecosystem
| examine how they interact with existing structures, incentives, and behaviours
| develop plausible future states that challenge assumptions and open new lines of inquiry
The output is not a report of trends. It is a set of provocative insights designed to be discussed, tested, and debated at leadership level.
Provocations helps leadership teams:
| see beyond current roadmaps and planning cycles
| surface strategic areas of interest not yet formally recognised
| identify opportunities and risks before they become urgent
| align around where exploration, or restraint, is most valuable
The outcome is clarity of focus, not certainty of outcome.
By making the future discussable today, Provocations gives organisations the confidence to act with intent, rather than react under pressure.
