Leatherhead’s horizon scanning service monitors and tracks signals of upcoming changes at global scale, in your markets of interest. We consider the relevancy of these changes to your products and your business so you can prepare for the short, mid and long-term changes.

Horizon scanning is a tool to understand and manage upcoming changes and their associated risks. It helps organisations plan for future regulatory changes and reduce ‘firefighting’. Regulatory horizon scanning helps gain visibility of regulations at a local and international level to understand the frequency of change. Information gathered is used to support an informed decision-making process and to create a suitable ongoing monitoring schedule. 

Depending on the scope of the topic, target markets and design of the exercise a horizon scanning project can take between 1 week - 2 months. Timelines will depend on your objectives and the depth of knowledge needed.
