Visoko helps to promote sustainable development

Climate change and the depletion of natural resources, as well as the loss of biodiversity, are the greatest global threats of our time. For this reason, nature and the earth can be considered a significant stakeholder in companies. In a world, the pace of change is getting fiercer and more unpredictable. It is important for companies to identify social phenomena and the factors that affect their operations. Climate change is a megatrend that acts as an accelerator for corporate responsibility work. Companies can act as solvers by producing sustainable products and services that have the least impact on the environment. (Koipijärvi & Kuvaja, 2017)

New types of indicators are needed, e.g. to assess the actual environmental impact of the business and also allows for so-called "nature accounting", in which the environmental impact is included in the balance sheet. In the future, therefore, it is hoped that the environmental impact will no longer be outsourced in the same way as it is today. The transition requires not only new innovations, new knowledge and a new way of thinking, but also strong political and economic guidance. In companies, it means integrating financial and responsibility data and foresight into practice.

Visoko helps companies and organizations of all sizes move towards a more sustainable corporate culture and operating model. It is done digitally using agile methods, focusing on sustainable growth and development and future´s foresight projects.

Features of the Delfoi method

The Delfoi future method aims to solve current and future-related problems. As a method, it focuses not only on the collection of existing data, but also on producing new information. The Delfoi method can be described as a research technique in the form of a survey or interview, which aims to gather and increase the knowledge and understanding of the phenomenon studied by a group of experts through a guided electronic interaction process. The Delfoi method now typically involves 15-40 experts in two or three rounds. It is already used in more than 100 countries.

Iteration, feedback, dialogue, learning

Delfoi is distinguished from survey methods by its iterativeness * and feedback. The different versions of Delfoi combine the features of anonymity, expertise and iterativeness *. (Iterativeness means going through the process in several stages and you can always go back to the previous ones). Delfoi has a carefully selected panel of experts, which also distinguishes it from the Survey research. Unlike polls, opinions are not only collected for analysis, but response information is recycled back to experts. Feedback is used to guide respondents to justify their choices. Learning is also expected to lead to good decisions and wise action.

"A structuring technique for a group communication process that seeks to understand and handle the future evolution of a complex problem." (Linstone & Turoff 1975)
