Put simply, Shapethefuture is a network of people, just like you, who have the opportunity to influence the type of products, services and environment around you.

We work with the kind of companies that create the products and services you use and who don’t always get it right. Whether it’s that new mobile phone, car or even utility service, we’re all frustrated with useless customer service or poor interface design. Despite spending a great deal of money (millions!), these companies make fatal flaws in the creation of new products primarily because they don’t understand the way we live our lives.

You’ve found us here because someone out there cares what you think of the world you live in. Tell us who you are and we’ll add you to our network. When a client calls looking for an understanding of what “22 year old graduates working in London need to help them live” or what “52-year old civil engineers think of our new recycling service”, we’ll look to our network for advice.

Indeed. Which is why when they approach us, we’ll ask them to give you something for your time – whether it’s a telephone call, email survey or in-depth interview. Cash (if they’re rich). The opportunity to shape the future (if they’re not-for-profit).

We recognise that money isn’t everything, which is why when you join the network, we’ll connect you (if you want) to other like-minded people. You can also have a good old moan about your really frustrating customer experiences on our ‘Ahh! Useless’ rant-board.

So. What are you waiting for? Give us your details (we’re obliged to obey the Data Protection rules so you’ll be confidentially held on record) and ShapetheFuture.

Oh. One more thing. It isn’t facebook. It isn’t a blog. It’s a proper-serious attempt to influence the designs of the future.

Without you, nothing changes.
