O'Future develops bespoke responses to the complex, and often unique, issues that organisations have to address. These responses are built through the implementation of robust approaches and methodologies (eg. strategic foresight),  rather than through the provision of  'static' knowledge. The expertise provided by O'Future is therefore essentially applicable  to any sector. Where  specialised insight is required, O'Future is able to elicit it from all relevant sources:  literature, datasets, experts or stakeholders.

Nonetheless, there are two areas of intervention in which O'Future can complement the value of its methodologies with the additional benefits of sectoral expertise.

O'Future has a wide-ranging expertise in environmental issues built on project experience in the following areas:

• Water resources management
• Climate change
  
• Environmental economics
• Environmental management
• Sustainability

O'Future has extensive expertise in the sector of water utilities built upon experience acquired with all stakeholder groups (managing authorities, service providers, regulators, customers), which cover the following issues: 

• analysis of regulatory models and processes (PPP, lease contract, public management, yardstick competition vs. competition for the market, price review processes)
• audit of service performances
• contract analysis
• budget and tariff analysis
• strategic decision-making
