What can we do for you?

Oltmans van Niekerk collaborates with recognised global brands to envision and shape the future. By identifying what lies ahead, we show which future developments will impact your business, brand and product. Companies work with us to be challenged in their thinking and get input for their brand research and inspiration for their design vision and future strategy.

Oltmans van Niekerk helps organisations understand the future to innovate, learn, change and grow by using future research as an essential role in identifying opportunities. We signal societal value shifts that might be permanent or a paradigm change for companies never to be caught off-guard. 

Our expertise is cross-industry; we work for clients in retail, automotive, health, hospitality, technology, fashion, beauty, and food industries. OvN uniquely approaches each project by working closely with our clients. Every company and team is unique; we create bespoke strategies, workshops and presentations that suit your specific goal.
