ForesightA practice from Movement Systems
For the coaches on the pitch and the directors in the boardroom

Prove your impact.
Automate your data.
Unify your place.

Foresight is the Place-Based Operating System that connects the two people every local system depends on: the club leader who needs fuller sessions and a funding case that writes itself, and the council director who needs live, defensible proof that investment is changing behaviour. One loop, both jobs done.

The problem

The work happens on the ground. The proof lives in the boardroom. Nothing connects them.

The old, painful reality

Clubs run blind.A coach fills a Tuesday session, changes someone’s week, and has nothing to show a funder but a paper register and a good story.

Directors report late. Participation reaches the boardroom as retrospective spreadsheets compiled every six months — too old to steer anything.

Everyone guesses. Research, surveys, and consultations sit forgotten in scattered PDFs while investment decisions get made on instinct.

The Foresight reality

Clubs capture in 30 seconds.A QR session poster turns every attendance and every “this fixed my back pain” into a verified data point — no admin, no spreadsheet, no login.

Directors see it live. Grassroots activity streams straight into inactivity rates, equity gaps, and framework alignment the moment it happens.

Nobody guesses. Every document, transcript, and stakeholder list is indexed into one secure workspace you can ask anything — and it answers with citations.

Who it’s for

Built for both ends of the system.

Grassroots club leaders

You want fuller sessions and a fighting chance at funding — without becoming a data administrator. Foresight lists your sessions where residents actually look, prints your QR poster, and turns every scan into attendance you never have to type up.

When the grant application comes round, your numbers and your participants’ own words are already there: verified, dated, and mapped to what funders ask for. Thirty seconds a session. That’s the whole job.

Executive council directors

You’re accountable for outcomes you can’t currently see. Foresight gives you the live picture: which wards are cold, which organisations actually broker the network, where the equity gap is widening — computed from the real graph, not a consultant’s snapshot.

And when the board or the funder asks “did it work?”, inactivity rates, partner adoption, and Sport England Uniting the Movement alignment are tracked against baseline and target, exportable as a funder-ready report in two clicks.

Why it works

Because the loop is closed.

One data point does both jobs.The same scan that proves a club’s session happened rolls up into the borough’s framework alignment. Nobody enters anything twice; nobody’s work goes uncounted.

Evidence first, always. Every answer the workspace gives carries citations back to the source document, metric run, or session record. When a number reaches a funder, you can show exactly where it came from.

Proven in a live borough.This isn’t a concept deck — Foresight runs the Barking & Dagenham pilot today: 94 organisations, 1,355 verified connections, inside an invite-only, tenant-walled workspace.

What's in the OS

Nine modules. One place.

Place Intelligence

Ask anything about the place. Foresight indexes Drive docs, PDFs, meeting transcripts, JSNA data, and the stakeholder map, then answers with citations. Drop in more sources to keep it current.

Insights

Computed from the imported graph: cohort coverage gaps, cold wards, true brokers by betweenness centrality, and an auto-prioritised outreach queue that updates as you work it.

Measurement

Mission KPIs vs baseline + target. Equity gap tracking. Sport England framework alignment. Exportable funder reports. The proof the work landed.

Manage, publicise, and measure.
Zero effort for providers.

True place-based scale depends entirely on clean data from the ground up. Foresight integrates seamlessly with local activity listing directories like B&D Moves to automatically provision digital tracking nodes for local clubs.

Providers can generate custom, high-fidelity QR Code Session Posters instantly. When a citizen scans a poster on a local pitch or community centre, their qualitative feedback ("What made you come along today?") feeds directly into your central dashboard analytics. It is simple enough for a local coach to use in 30 seconds, ensuring your data pipeline stays fresh, active, and real.
