Consultancies. For mapping the future environment and drawing strategic implications, companies and networks can rely on internal competences, partly even internal foresight departments, working groups etc. In addition, they may draw on external competence, such as services offered by consultancies. With a focus on innovating with IT, Xxxxxxx has shown that consultants may fulfill various roles in supporting innovation with IT via strategy consulting, technology assessment etc. for individual firms (Xxxxxxx 2010).
