Hands-on AI training for leaders and specialist teams · Copenhagen
Applied Futures helps organisations turn AI experimentation into applied AI. We advise and support leaders, train specialist teams, and work forward-deployed until capability and ROI shows up in real workflows; not in slide decks.
01 · Principles
Every session moves from input to practice to shared output, so new AI skills land the same week, not the next quarter.
— 01
AI skills built through practice, not theory. Every session ends with a working output you can use the same week.
— 02
Hands-on building with AI agents. Not slides. Real work, in your tools, with your context.
— 03
Embed new skills into your team. The change sticks because people built it themselves.
Formats
Format — 01
Claude Community evenings: builder nights plus vertical-focused sessions (marketing, legal, product, and more). Short practitioner talks across Denmark, every few weeks.
Format — 02
Conference keynotes and breakouts on AI, agentic engineering, and how teams turn experiments into daily workflow.
Format — 03
Open-enrolment, one-day intensives. A four-format ladder: from your first agent with no code, to Claude Code for developers, to leading the AI shift as a CxO.
Format — 04
Private, in-organisation training. Half-day online or one to two days on-site, tailored to your team's stack and workflow.
Format — 05
Short sprints with real data from domain partners. Cross-disciplinary teams, working prototypes by the end of the evening.
Format — 06
Embedded engineers and product managers working inside your team. We bring the Claude Code operating manual; you ship features in your stack.
Tools without capability is the gap, and that's where most consultancies stop.— From the founding brief, Applied Futures, 2023
A workshop builds the foundation. Community is what makes it stick. The meetups, the Slack, the events exist so the people we work with stay connected to each other, and to a wider field of practitioners doing the same work.
Weekly, across Denmark. Free, expert-led evenings.
Peer learning between meetups. Patterns, questions, work in progress.
Talks and hands-on sessions across the wider Claude community calendar.
Upcoming
As Anthropic Community Ambassadors, we host and curate sessions through the global Claude Community. Free, hands-on, limited in size.
Testimonials
What practitioners and partners say about working with us.
Applied Futures is more than just a foresight tool—it helps organisations navigate uncertainty by combining futures thinking with actionable strategies. It's an approach that turns abstract scenarios into practical business decisions.
Design thinking focuses on solving current problems, but futures research prepares us for what doesn't exist yet. Applied Futures successfully integrates both.
The framework enables teams to co-create the future rather than just reacting to it. It bridges the gap between speculative foresight and real-world implementation.
Applied Futures takes futures literacy beyond academic discussions and makes it a practical, everyday capability for organisations.
Futures research is often abstract, but Applied Futures makes it tangible. It provides a systematic way to integrate long-term thinking into day-to-day business strategy.
One of the biggest challenges in foresight work is making it relevant to decision-makers. Applied Futures provides a concrete, step-by-step approach to ensure future thinking leads to action.
Future scenarios often feel disconnected from business reality. Applied Futures changes that by focusing on participatory and hands-on methods that drive engagement.
The combination of futures studies and design thinking in the Applied Futures framework is powerful. It encourages a structured yet flexible approach to shaping future-ready strategies.
The Applied Futures approach fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, helping teams see beyond their silos and work towards shared, long-term visions.
Futures work is most effective when it's systematic and ongoing. Applied Futures helps organisations embed futures literacy into their strategy in a sustainable way.
