“Mayors of the Future” Workshop

WHAT IS IT

Immersive executive training program for municipal leaders and their teams. Over two days of in-person sessions, it combines foresight, place branding, and innovation through simulations of uncertainties and opportunities. It is complemented by online mentoring that accompanies the execution of a 100-day plan, ensuring that learning generates tangible and quick results in city management. Designed for newly elected mayors and their teams, when the management plan is still taking shape and can incorporate foresight before it becomes part of routine administration.

WHAT WE WILL SOLVE

• Government plans that become outdated before they get off the ground.

• Difficulty communicating complex futures to city councillors, the media, and the population.

• Lack of quick tools to prioritize investments under pressure.

• Short political cycle that disrupts long-term vision.

WHEN TO HIRE US

At the beginning of a term, before the government plan becomes outdated in the face of reality, or whenever it’s necessary to communicate complex future scenarios to city council members, the media, and the public within a short political cycle.

[2] Futures in urban policy.

N/Masters

WHAT IS IT

A hands-on training program for you and your team to master, without relying on external consultants, the three key disciplines of N / Lugares Futuros — place branding, strategic placemaking, and place strategic foresight. We teach you how to diagnose, plan, and implement antifragile urban projects, so that your team can “stand on its own two feet” and get ideas off the ground after the consulting project is delivered. Designed for the internal teams of those who have already hired a consulting project and want to stop relying on outside help to turn ideas into reality.

WHAT WE WILL SOLVE

• Projects that stall in execution due to a lack of integrated methodology.

• Teams dependent on one-off consulting services, without retaining knowledge.

• Planning that fails to connect branding, urban experience, and futures.

• Difficulty defending projects before government agencies, investors, or the community.

WHEN TO HIRE US

After the delivery of a Place Branding & Futures or a Master Plan, when the risk is no longer the quality of the strategy but rather the internal team’s ability to sustain it on its own.
