The future isn't fate — it's what we dare to MAKE.
Stop being tomorrow’s passenger.
Start being its architect.
No optimism?
No innovation.
No ownership.
No future.
The future belongs to the builders.
Unfortunately, most organizations are waiting for tomorrow to happen to them instead of designing it themselves.
Everything you’re trying to do:
- Navigating A.I. transformation
- Upskilling your leaders
- Building resilient employees
depends on Future Design™ — let’s build a tomorrow we’re all proud of.

Future Design™?
Most organizational systems drain people. We design systems that fuel long-term success. Here are the blueprints:
Energy Over Effort

Less Over More
BUSINESS OUTCOMESClearer priorities, faster decisions, less burnout, and a culture where big ideas have room to grow.
Impact Over Activity
BUSINESS OUTCOMESTeams that deliver results instead of reports, with clear line-of-sight between daily work and business impact.
Loops Over Lines
BUSINESS OUTCOMESReal innovation through experimentation and fast iteration, not slow-motion planning theater.
Interdependence Over Isolation
BUSINESS OUTCOMESFaster problem-solving, breakthrough ideas, and an organization that pivots instantly when the market shifts.
Long-Term Over Short-Term
BUSINESS OUTCOMESHit this quarter's targets while building the client loyalty and team resilience that make next year's targets easier to reach.
Hi! I'm Josh Allan Dykstra.
I grew up in a small midwestern town, raised by amazing entrepreneurial parents who taught me the future is something we design and build together.
Remember when the future felt exciting? When we dreamed of flying cars, cities in the sky, and a world where technology made life more delightful? That optimism got buried somewhere under decades of dystopian predictions and doomsday scenarios.
Over the last 15+ years, I’ve had the honor to work with some of the best organizations on earth who collectively employ over a million people. I’ve learned how to recapture that “World Of Tomorrow” excitement — and how we can build the future we actually want to live and work in.
I’m here to share the blueprints with you.
