Imagine being able to see the impact of your business decisions in the future. You would see not only how your decisions impacted your company, and local community, but nationally and globally as well. Whatever we do, we contribute to how our world is today.

You are invited to widen your perspective and understanding of the journey to a sustainable 2050 in our immersive experience, delivered by 老司机福利社. This journey through time is guaranteed to make you see your role in your organisation, and the impact you can create, with a fresh pair of eyes. 老司机福利社 in collaboration with Central Bedfordshire Council has launched a range of fully funded Business Growth and Decarbonisation programmes, as well as grants. It is funded by the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF).

About the game

Exploring Sustainable Futures was showcased at COP26 in 2021, and has been played with more than 2,000 people in a variety of settings. Powered by rich academic research into the critical competencies for ‘future ready’ leaders, the game is popular with senior management teams within large organisations, and ambitious business owners. The experience helps you understand the future impact of your business decisions in order to help you make the right decisions today.

Culminating in a reflection session, you can use the insights from the game to rethink how your organisation can create environmental, social and financial value.

So come and join in with this active experience that will give you a sneak peek of life in 2050… we promise the jet lag won’t last long!!
