The Competency
Interdisciplinary edge
AI, technology, democracy, regulation, and sustainability — integrated. Henrik Skaug Sætra is a seasoned interdisciplinary researcher and consultant, uniquely positioned to integrate insights from a broad range of key fields required to understand the future.
The Approach
Decisions, not decks
Every engagement ends with actionable scenarios and strategies with choices, owners, and triggers.
The Method
The OSLO spine (our method)
Outlook (drivers & incentives) → Scenarios (3–4 narratives + causal maps) → Levers (no-regrets, options, big bets) → Observation (signals, thresholds, and review cadence).
We’re a boutique strategy hub helping Nordic leaders navigate technological, political, and sustainability uncertainty. We work fast, synthesize widely, and translate futures thinking into Monday-morning moves.
