Applied think tank · Lima, Peru
The only applied strategic foresight think tank built from and for Latin America.
Centro de Estudios de Impacto Futuro
Who we are
Most organizations make decisions based on the present. CEIF works with those who need to make decisions whose consequences will be felt in five, ten, or twenty years.
We are an applied think tank: we combine strategic research, executive training, and project development within a single structure. We don't produce reports that collect dust. We produce analysis that becomes concrete action.
Our methodological framework, STRIKE, integrates six phases from system understanding to execution. It is the backbone of everything we do.
Based in Lima, regional in scope. Foresight has no fixed address, but it does have a distinct perspective.

Bioeconomy
How biodiversity-rich countries can position themselves in the global economy. The EU has binding strategies for 2030; Latin America is still defining its place on this new map.
Geopolitics and the multipolar order
The fragmentation of the global order creates concrete opportunities and risks for the region. Organizations without a framework for reading it make decisions without direction.
Water governance in South America
Water will be a critical variable for the region's food, energy, and territorial security. The agenda explores tensions, governance, and cooperation scenarios.
Peru 2035
A foresight exercise on the scenarios that could shape the country's institutional, productive, and social development over the next decade.
Lines of action
Each line is a distinct mode of collaboration. They can be combined depending on each organization's context.
We design and execute strategic projects from scratch: from problem identification to implementation. For public, private, and international organizations facing long-term challenges.

STRIKE is CEIF's methodological architecture. Six phases that take an organization from understanding the system it operates in to executing initiatives that hold up across multiple possible futures. We don't design strategies for the most likely future. We design strategies that withstand many futures.
Defines system boundaries: key actors, variables, and the time horizon of the analysis.
Identifies structural trends and weak signals that could reshape the system.
Deconstructs the problem to its deepest layers before designing scenarios.
Builds plausible futures from the critical uncertainties identified in prior phases.
Subjects conclusions to deliberate refutation. Dissent is a methodological obligation.
Translates validated scenarios into strategic initiatives and adaptive monitoring mechanisms.
News & Events
ENFEN ruled out a devastating event in the short term. Peru breathed easy. But the real threat is not the Pacific Ocean; it is the paralysis that comes from believing there is plenty of time.

“Organizations that thrive don't predict the future. They learn to act well across multiple possible futures.”
CEIF — Center for Future Impact Studies
CEIF is an applied think tank specialized in strategic foresight. That means we use rigorous methodologies to analyze trends, build future scenarios, and translate that analysis into concrete initiatives. We are neither a traditional consultancy nor a purely academic center: we combine research, training, and execution within a single structure.
