Futureneering.A specialist program for problems that compound.

Futureneering is Peter Kinnaird's own program. The usual generalist advice from consultants or coaches is a band-aid solution. They just manage the problem, and over time it becomes a compounding sore in the business.

The Niche Futureneering program has been built to stop the problem and relieve the pain those issues cause within the business. Every specialist on our team is trained inside it, and the Business Curve is the diagnostic at its core.

World's Best Niche Business Consultant Award, 2025

Awarded to Peter Kinnaird by the International Institute of Niche Business Consultants (IINBC), for developing everyday businesses into niche, specialised industry leaders, especially in regional and country Australia.

The Business Curve

Growth is never a straight line. The Business Curve maps where your business is really heading, then pinpoints where it drifted from where it should be.

Where you need to be The gap Checkpoint Checkpoint Gap closed Today Year 1 Year 2 3-year goal
Step 1: lock in the 3-year goal.
  1. 01

    Define the end goal

    Lock in where the business needs to be in three years: revenue, team, offer and your role in it. A target, not a wish.

  2. 02

    Work backward

    Break the goal into yearly checkpoints, so you know exactly where the business should be at Year 2, Year 1 and today.

  3. 03

    Find the real gap

    Compare where the business should be today with where it actually is. That gap, not the 3-year goal, is where the work starts.

  4. 04

    Close it, don't carry it

    Fix what's broken at today's stage first. A plan built on unresolved problems carries them into next year, and the year after.

Who Our Clients Are

No more than two clients from the same industry, ever, at the same time. If your two nearest competitors are already in the room, you won't be.

We don't say who we work with. That alone would tell a rival who's ahead. We don't explain how any client became the leader of their industry either, because that's the part worth actually protecting.

The names stay private. So does the path.

“If I'm willing to trade a client's privacy for my own testimonial, I'm not the specialist you want in the room.” Peter Kinnaird, Founder

Two ways to start

Skip the wait list

Book a free strategic plan meeting

Applications are open year-round. Tell us the biggest gap in your business and we'll tell you straight whether we're the right specialist to close it.

Two quick steps: your contact details, then your region, industry and biggest gap.

We review every application personally. If your region and industry are already taken, we'll tell you rather than waste your time.

Workshops

Wait for a live workshop in your region

Prefer to take it slower? Each workshop accepts only two businesses per industry. That means there are only two seats per workshop for each industry, so book early or you could easily miss out.

  • Two businesses per industry, per session
  • Run in your region on a rolling schedule
  • Leave with your own Business Curve started

Real, full-on workshops. No fluff. You'll complete preparation work before the day, and phones and laptops stay off during the session, so you get the maximum benefit from the workshop.
