This has included teams involved in the HS2 Project Phase 1, Thameslink, Crossrail and Transpenning Route Upgrade. Their wide ranging and impressive client base and years of experience engaging with senior leaders, are just two of the predominant attributes that have enabled 7Futures to become a trusted, leading provider.

To host an event of this size required special technology, the discovery of which has opened up new possibilities for their business as they consider how to best grow and evolve their enterprise. The Covid-19 pandemic, in particular, has accelerated the use of technology as an engagement tool for the delivery of services to those working from home. This is likely to be a continuing feature of new ways of delivering wellbeing whatever the new normal proves to be. The success of the Siemens project has shown how effectively wellbeing and resilience training can be delivered to a large number of people safely, and as such, 7Futures is working on new projects and services they can offer through an online medium. Key projects they are developing include: female resilience for women in senior management roles, psychological safety and it’s relevance to DI, and partnerships with elite nutrition services, Colour Fit and Balance Meals, which are already being trialled by one of 7Futures’ longest-standing clients. It is an exciting period for this organisation as they look forward to a whole new world of opportunities.
