Why we exist

We work differently.

Back From the Future was founded because we kept seeing the same pattern: strategies were written, pilots launched, tools purchased. But the people who did the daily work were brought in too late.

Adoption was treated as a follow-up rather than something to design in from the start. We turn that around: people as the starting point, technology as the means. Our goal is for organisations to be able to do it without us.

Vincent Croes and Ruben Horbach, founders of Back From the Future
