Guidance as design principle
From story to action. From silos to collaboration.
In many companies, the good story is no longer enough.
Customers, citizens and business partners expect real help to make better choices in an increasingly complex everyday life.
In FutureComm, we help your compay design business, collaboration and communication models, where guidance makes responsible choices easy, relevant and trustworthy.
No partner can achieve this alone.
We have developed our model and programme targeted at more complex systems - such as e.g. the food industry.
The figure on the right — how to understand it
The figure illustrates the system that guidance is designed to make work.
-
The consumer is at the center of the choice
-
Producers contribute data, responsibility, and transparency
-
Retail creates context — and makes the choice possible
-
Partners and knowledge ensure legitimacy, standards, and learning.
Guidance does not emerge from a single stakeholder, but from the interaction between them.
When the system is aligned, the right choice becomes easier to make in practice.
When does guidance create value?
Guidance creates value when:
-
People experience complexity, uncertainty, or conflicting information
-
Trust, transparency, and responsibility are business-critical
-
Multiple actors influence the same decision
-
Behavior matters more than opinion
-
Information and storytelling are no longer sufficient,
In short:
When it is no longer about explaining — but about guiding.
When licence to operate has become licence to guide.

Guidance makes complex choices possible in practice.
Not by providing more information — but by designing systems that help people take action.
We connect consumers, producers, retail, and knowledge into one shared guidance model, so responsibility, transparency, and documentation are translated into concrete choices in everyday life.
Guidance is what turns strategy into action —
at the point where the choice is actually made.
Guidance means:
-
Simplification rather than information
-
Translation rather than explanation
-
Action rather than opinion
-
Engagement rather than influence.
When guidance succeeds, behavior changes —not because people are persuaded, but because the system around them supports the right choice.
Where does guidance emerge ?
Guidance emerges in the interaction between stakeholders and frameworks — not in isolated campaigns.
To create action and trust, multiple elements must work together:
-
Producers contribute transparency and accountability
-
Retail makes the choice concrete and easy
-
Partners and knowledge provide legitimacy and learning
-
Authorities and frameworks set direction
-
People are actively involved — not treated as passive recipients.
Guidance is a systemic principle: it is about designing coherent experiences and decision environments — not just communication.
What do we help you with ?
-
Systemic diagnosis
We identify where your customers or consumers encounter complexity, doubt, and friction — and where your current setup fails to support them. At the same time, we create transparency by involving both stakeholders and users. -
Collaboration and business ecosystem design
We establish clear roles, shared purpose, and collaboration models so actors work together — not in silos. -
Design of guidance as a business principle
We create a shared model that guides people toward better, more responsible choices in practice — developed through co-creation with partners and users. -
From intention to action
We translate strategy into concrete choices, experiences, and behaviors in everyday life. Integrated user feedback, testing, and documentation ensure that solutions actually work — and that impact can be demonstrated.
What does guidance create for you?
-
Increased relevance and trust among customers and partners
-
Stronger alignment between strategy, business, and communication
-
Better collaboration across stakeholders
-
Documented impact on behavior and decision-making
-
Business models that endure — because people actually act.
Guidance is what makes your strategy operational, human, and measurable.
