Success Stories
Enabling businesses to stay one step ahead
of disruption
This is Why We Do What We Do
The biggest reason we engaged WhatNext was their ability to solve our industry’s toughest
questions with the best minds who knew the answers. We got more insights from a 60-minute one-o-one call with WhatNext’s FutureMaker than I had been able to obtain from previously hired traditional consultants.
Urban Mobility Innovator
Global Mobility Company
We were at a crossroads while undertaking a new strategic initiative that would impact our
business model to great extent in future. We lacked the visibility and right knowledge. WhatNext helped us gain critical insights thanks to 1:1 relationship with individual subject matter experts. It was well worth the investment.
Acquisition Specialist
Mobility & Convergence Company
WhatNext is awesome! WhatNext’s technology experts did an excellent job of surfacing key
threats and opportunities in near future and devised specific steps to address them.They had challenged our key executives to look and think outside the box and develop an exponential transformation strategy to ensure we evolve over the next few years successfully.
Futurist – Automotive
North American Automotive Company
We operate in the most competitive echelons of global markets, and we had some of the specific
questions that only genuine technology experts could answer.WhatNext helped us to understand and prepare for unknown unknowns that would otherwise be unexpected and to guide decisions that help our company stay on course and predict its future position.
VP – Research & Development
Global Mobility Major
We are well connected within our Mobility industry but outside we’re not. WhatNext connected us
seamlessly with experts from other industries that gave us a new perspective on how to develop superior forward-looking capabilities and capture opportunities that would otherwise be unseen. Without doubt, our organization has developed a great partnership with WhatNext over last year.
