AQ means putting your future back into your hands
“I am definitely convinced now that AQ is something worth investing time and money in”
– Darius, Consultant
IQ → EQ → AQ
We've known for centuries that intelligence often equates with success, and so it is highly valued! But the idea of IQ (cognitive intelligence) being most important has become outdated.Psychologists have long argued that we have many different types of intelligence. For example, emotional intelligence (EQ), our ability to read and understand emotions, has gained credibility as a valid and important intelligence.Fast forward to today and we know more is needed. If the past two years have taught us anything it’s that an ability to anticipate what’s coming and adapt fast keeps you ahead of the curve.
We have defined this skill as Anticipation Intelligence (AQ)TM. Drawing on decades of foresight, psychology and strategy research, our thesis sets out why this is a critical skill for the present.To read more about the research behind AQ, download our white paper.

Our Story
We’ve spent collectively over three decades working with individuals and organisations of all sizes to explore and map the future and create adaptable strategies. The more we worked with people the more we noticed that some seemed much better at anticipating what was coming than others. They could spot the trends that were going to affect them, and see more clearly how these might play out, and so were able to come up with strategies and tactics for adapting.We spent a lot of time exploring what constituted this skillset and discovered it was a combination of foresight (seeing far ahead), topsight (seeing the whole and interconnections) and insight (seeing clearly without blindspots and assumptions). These skills and the ability to translate them into smart action (and use hindsight to do so) are what creates high AQ.
Our mission is make AQ as ubiquitous as IQ and EQ, equipping every individual with the confidence and capacity to anticipate and create the future they want.
About Us
Leila is the lead designer of AQ curriculum and runs our courses. She has over a decade of experience facilitating courses and workshops around the world and blends practical learning and intellectual rigour with humour and fun!

Shirin leads on the research and academic side of AQ, including coining the term! She has spent the past two decades exploring the future of big global issues such as risk, regulation and society, HIV/AIDS, diabetes and health, natural hazards, intellectual property rights and mobility for UN agencies, Fortune 500 companies, not-for-profits, universities and individuals. Each time the task has been exploring where and how disruptive change could impact the status quo, shining a spotlight on the non-obvious. She lives in London and in her spare time, she’ll be pottering around the garden, cooking for friends or at a classical music concert.
