Two Recent Examples
Barbara's recent foresight research work for two clients has been particularly impressive. She provided them with an overview of the complexities and uncertainties and linked them to strategic implications and recommendations.
Quantum Encryption
For Delft University of Technology, Barbara researched the complex future of quantum encryption in case of a quantum hack.
She looked into over 14 factors influencing the development of encryption and how these factors were likely to play out in different scenarios. She combined the information with a scan of current use cases of possible solutions to a quantum hack.
Future City Dwellers
For Heijmans, Barbara researched which people could and would like to live in a new city in the Netherlands, considering demographic trends and the region's future outlook regarding employment, types of work, migration, and social cohesion.
Instead of the usual information on current inhabitants, Heijmans can now develop the project in line with future needs and minimize the risk of building for the previous generation.
