Vital Futures helps purpose-driven teams make confident, future-ready decisions.

Founded by Liz Koblyk, PhD, an award-winning foresight strategist and seasoned facilitator, Vital Futures brings strategic clarity to organizations tackling complex, urgent challenges. But we're more than a one-person consultancy—we’re a collaborative network with expertise in strategy, implementation, governance, market research, and brand management.

We support leaders who want to create positive impact through resilient, values-aligned businesses.

Liz’s Experience

Liz brings decades of leadership and change-making experience, from successful pilot launches, to guiding teams through restructures, and helping steward $50M in philanthropic funding. She has partnered with senior leaders, public officials, and underrepresented experts, and trained in foresight at Carleton University, the Institute for the Future, and The Futures School.

Experience has taught her that robust plans bring together a range of voices to imagine a range of futures, their sticking points, and their opportunities.

What Makes Us Different

We take you further with our tools and our process.  While we’ll improve your efficiency, we’ll never start with it. There’s no point in getting faster at solving yesterday’s problems. Instead, we use strategic planning and foresight tools to prepare you for the future.

We also don’t assume that a good toolkit is all it takes. If you’re working with limited perspectives, you’ll end up with a limited plan, and we’d much rather see you succeed. We know how to leverage the wisdom of your team and stakeholders to make adapting to change more seamless.

Finally, our collective approach means that we can offer the support you need with a streamlined price.  Our extended team includes specialists in:

• Organizational design and governance

• Implementation planning and operational coaching

• Process optimization

• Research and audience insight

• Brand management and narrative development

We’re pragmatic and optimistic, and we believe that legacy is built in daily decisions.

If you want to future-proof how you lead, adapt, and serve your mission, give us a call. If you need us to sign an NDA before we talk, let us know.
