The GSN is a network comprised of CIFS consultants and associates, and a team of global ambassadors. The ambassadors are Master/PhD graduates and working professionals on a six month rotation, providing expert perspectives in the realms of science and technology, politics, culture, design, innovation, business management, finance, marketing and branding. The GSN represents a diverse, global group of individuals contributing unique observations, profitable ideas and sharp insights into specific industry challenges.

With our GSN, we collect, compare and evaluate a wide range of signals – including new and emerging trends, technologies, values, products, concepts, companies, services, and ideas – in order to identify what’s happening now and what could be emerging tomorrow. It is a process that seeks to identify the earliest indications of a potentially disruptive issue, but also tracks changes to established phenomena or trends.
