About Us
Founded and operated by Marc Verbenkov, we are based in Vancouver, Canada, but also support internationally based clients due to the years of overseas work Marc has done. We leverage a full suite of AI tools and a globally distributed team of experts to deliver the future to you. We are full members of the Association of Professional Futurists and certified Foresight Practitioners via the Futures School.
Why We Exist
In an age of rapid technological growth and turbulence, it is easy to be overwhelmed by the pace of change, unsure of what strategy or path to take, and confused about which new tools are the right fit for your organization. After nearly a decade of working on some of the most ambitious emerging technology projects in Europe, and interviewing dozens of tech leaders, researchers, and innovators across the globe, we identified a clear need to translate the future into clear action for organizations.
It also became abundantly clear that many businesses have yet to take their first online step, relying on more traditional methods while missing the opportunities of the digital world. This realization led us to build a dedicated Digital Marketing department, focused on supporting the initial creation and continued management of your digital footprint, to get you noticed and help grow your brand and business.
Our Logo: Symbolism and Story
For Future-Ready Consulting, the compass symbolizes guidance, exploration, and orientation. Our logo features a futuristic compass with a North-East pointing needle, blending traditional wisdom with modern innovation. The North-East direction, significant in various cultures for representing wisdom, new beginnings, and growth, perfectly aligns with our mission to guide businesses towards future success.
Leveraging ChatGPT a few months after its release, we refined our logo to reflect our brand’s commitment to navigating the future. The combination of human insight and AI mirrors our approach to helping clients adapt to emerging trends, ensuring they are prepared for the journey ahead.
The compass has been a crucial navigational tool throughout history, guiding explorers and travelers across uncharted territories. Originating in China during the Han Dynasty, it evolved from a tool for divination to a vital instrument for sea navigation by the 11th century, revolutionizing exploration and trade.
