About RIAHSAH Co.

RIAHSAH Co. is a social impact network building future-ready systems across Africa through foresight, innovation, and collaboration. We design and test practical solutions that turn insight into action and connect people working to transform their systems.
Systems Futures is the home of this network and a collaborative platform where our learning, projects, and communities come together to drive systemic change across Africa and beyond.

Our work connects insight to action through the Systems Futures platform.

What is Systems Futures

Systems Futures is the collaborative space where RIAHSAH’s network learns, experiments, and grows together.
It connects thinkers, doers, and changemakers exploring how real transformation happens through courses, research, conversations, and applied projects that bridge insight and action.

Mission and Vision

We enable organisations and communities to adapt, collaborate, and co-create a future that benefits all.

We envision sustainable, inclusive, and equitable systems where people and organisations thrive through collaboration and innovation.

Our Core Approach

Systems Informed Foresight®

Seeing Futures Through a Systems Lens

Systems Informed Foresight® (SIF®) is our signature approach to systems change. It integrates systems thinking and foresight to help individuals and organisations anticipate, design, and act in complex, interconnected environments.

SIF® Core Framework: Awareness → Application → Adaptation - AAA

Awareness (Sense)See the system.
Recognise the patterns, mental models, and structures shaping today’s reality.

Application (Shape)Explore alternative futures.
Translate insights into scenarios, pathways, and option portfolios to map possible, probable, and preferred futures. Identify signposts and triggers to guide adaptive decisions over time.

Adaptation (Shift)Design for systemic impact.
Translate foresight into strategy through small experiments and adaptive action; track signposts, trigger responses, and evolve strategy and system maps for lasting, systemic impact.
