Foresight, our prediction markets platform, is the underlying technology. Just as exciting to us is the inclusion of the principal partners in the project, Big Think and The Economist.

Milt Capps, who covers the local venture beat with enthusiasm, covered the new partnership in a wide-ranging profile of Consensus Point earlier today:

[Consensus Point CEO Linda] Rebrovick told VNC the Logica connection creates “a global footprint for Consensus Point,” in that Logica is believed to be the “first example of a global business service company offering a public insight and prediction market,” open to 40,000 Logica employees, Logica clients, subject-matter experts and most others who register at the FutureScope site launched earlier today.

Logica will initially use the FutureScope market to support clients exploring an array of “sustainability” issues and themes. Logica’s global information technology and business services are offered to enable clients to pursue the opportunities and problems they discover.

Logica just completed a rebranding initiative that involved an overhaul of their website. We’re impressed by both the breadth and depth of their thinking that has gone into their vision for themselves in the future, and we’re excited to see what the power of a high-profile predictive market might reveal more broadly.

Stay tuned to this space for more information in the near future. In the meantime, contact us if you’ve recently discovered the power of prediction markets and want to leverage the power of Foresight.
