To Consult is...

At Future Unincorporated, consulting is a two sided word. To consult is to give or to take advice or information. We take this duality seriously, and we bring it to the office.

When we consult our customers, we ask as many questions as we can, because we care about people and we believe people will exist in the future.


Yesterday we had a chance meeting with Birgitta, a fellow Consultant from the nearest city, Mikkeli. We asked her how Finnish people talk about the business of the future.

Consulting Company=Konsultointi Firma
to consult=konsultoida

It was a great opportunity to speak with someone in our field. I am sure we will be able to offer each other a lot of advice and information about our special expertise. Hopefully we will not have to compete with her for clients.

The objective of the corporation is to consult with Finns about their future. First we must get a client base. The process begins with putting out invitations to the community, though we don't speak the same language. So Future Unincorporated must make our good intentions clear.

Once an appointment is made, each customer will be invited to the office in the forest for a 'getting to know you' interview. After a basic measurement of the community is taken this way, we will make predictions about the future (tulevaisuus). Our hope is that the interview itself will cause each person to imagine and describe their own timeline, and will subsequently lead them to visualize themselves as part the future of Finland and of the world.

Each client will receive a receipt after the meeting.
