Meet ForeseeNow
CRISES. No Business Exec Wants Them.
That’s why our services span 56 years.
Business crisis
Any apprehensive incident accompanied by specific menaces causing multiple intrusions adversely affecting operational and leader efficiency.
Emergency
Sudden danger, disaster, atmospheric peril, or reasonable warning requiring immediate proficient response.
The most frequent inquiry we receive from
potential clients is, “Exactly what do you do?”
A brief reply goes like this: Based on primary need, FSN is retained to identify, prevent, or manage and solve multiple varieties of business dilemmas. With exceptions, our clients are corporations, institutions, professional service firms, and high-risk personnel.
As a specialist rather than generalist, each highly trained, skilled, and certified tactician has completed at least 30 years of relevant experience. Engaged with behavioral science research, we also use “lecture-via-stories” to convey motivating lessons at universities and before business audiences.
Why do you stand out?
Achieving patron objectives these past 56 years speaks clearly about our service quality. Each decade demanded strategic alterations to help clients deal with unexpected complexities. Economic, political, social, and security turmoil made discovering better ideas essential.
Remaining ahead of whatever misfortunes await those trusting us stands tall in this firm’s long history.
For instance?
Our trial and error research originating from the ancient Greek practice of Heuristic education (self-discovery). H-E buttresses another of this firm’s concept: superior predictability. S-P uncovers impending damage, while accelerating correct processes germane to most onerous cases. Another example is FSN outreach. By speaking before audiences, mentoring or training C-suite designees in crisis avoidance and response, we expand knowledge in a crucial field where skilled personnel lack in numbers
How can FSN aid my business?
Let’s start with your reputation, strengths plus weaknesses. When were your communications last evaluated — internal and external? Is media training needed? What business concerns deny you comfort?
Have any C-suite decisions gone awry lately? (Leaders are human!) Consider violence in or nearby your workplace, a sudden drop in employee morale, false rumors, threats, pre/post terrorism acts resulting from insufficient defense. These are only a few examples.
Ignoring crisis vulnerability assessments, too often boost regretful events. They save money, time, emotional distress, and operational interruptions. Values surface when we’re summon for confidential second opinion reviews. Our independence can offset C-Suite bias.
Where do you work?
Assignments range from 42 states, the District of Columbia to overseas.
We began as Preston Public Relations. Quick success prompted additional services plus name changes: The Preston Group and next, Preston Global. In the mid-1990s several operational units were sold to *Phil Osborne. This required a fourth label – Preston-Osborne & Associates. In 2000, FSN was chosen to highlight the magnitude of more contemporary perils caused by rapid social and technical change. *Phil continues as a consulting specialist.

Public Issue Control
We live in a fragmented society packed with controversies, arguments, and self-interest expectations. Issues of seemingly every description arise daily. Numerous causes ignite citizen attention, criticism; even censure and stormy discourse. Not the least is irresponsible social media plus traditional mass communication carelessness – each a product of unfortunate failures.
Depending upon subject matter, controversies feed interest, thus stimulating, gossip. Misleading reports get in the way of facts. Unsubstantiated commentary occurs when urgency to blog abandons responsibility. Consequently, parties under siege are victimized further by false rumors and confusing accounts.
Vulnerability Assessment
Offsetting worst case scenarios is, in the vernacular, every leader’s no-brainer duty. Fulfilling this commitment requires meticulous expertise. Anything less is waste of business dollars and executive attention.
Vulnerability assessments are designed to either prevent something bad from happening or at least lessen harsh consequences. Additionally, they help prepare organizations when a crisis, emergency or daunting public issue occurs. Specialists whose practice includes this vital tool are concerned about saving lives, protecting client assets, avoiding reputational damage and preserving brand prominence.
Security Against Crime & Terrorism
Lawlessness aimed at all sizes and types of business enterprises costs victims immensely. And not just in dollars, but also in lost time, distractions from important schedules, production delays, employee morale and because of litigation.
Yes, public expectations concerning management’s attention to safety and security are trending upward each year. Leaders adopting preventive measures beyond what most organizations do can avoid expensive litigation despite being victimized by violence. One reason is our testimony on their behalf. Litigation will occur. Part of our job is illustrating the magnitude of effort made to prevent or mitigate damages.
Workplace Violence
Though also illegal, criminologists view workplace violence from all sides, and there are several. It’s a societal issue, psychological problem, management priority, legal matter, morale decliner, and frequently ignored business subject. Steadily increasing, yet grossly under-reported by many companies, true numbers remain hidden. Best estimates, however, are alarming.
Recent statistics should prompt zero tolerance within organizations. Often, protective priorities bypass internal precautions even though studies show one in seven employees feel unsafe at work.
Reputation Vs Image
Unfavorable reputations destruct broadly. We find harmful evidence when consumers are deciding among similar companies in which to make purchases, use services, or select the best of different professions.
Image is not reputation and vice versa! Each has separate characteristics surrounded by dollar symbols. Reputation should stand uppermost on every business leader’s agenda. Whatever an organization or institution does is evaluated from reputational perspectives. Seriousness about across-the-board corporate standards becomes recognizable once cultural thoroughness is demonstrated, rather than just talked about.
Heuristic Education & Foreseeability
Situational foreseeability is the capacity to logically and accurately anticipate future occurrences. This is a “combined specialty,” resulting from vast experience, keen observation, human reaction studies and knowledge of current events. Superior Foreseeability wouldn’t be validated without Heuristic Educational techniques.
We follow ancient Greek learning paths. They’re marked by the term, “self-discovery.” From self-discovery comes trial and error. Both promote understanding. Trial and error jointly produce crucial knowledge. For decades, we’ve successfully applied this combination in ways quite foreign to other professional service firms.
