Our Journey
OUTPOD was founded in 2014 by Carlos Honorato, an economist, PhD in administration and a restless strategist by nature. What began as an executive education center quickly evolved into a strategic intelligence platform focused on businesses that challenge the status quo.
From corporate training to creating future scenarios with AI, our trajectory is marked by reinvention, provocation and delivery. We operate where uncertainty is high, impact is real and the margin for error is zero. In 2023, OUTPOD gave rise to OUTPODIA, a front dedicated exclusively to the integration of artificial intelligence in high-impact decisions.
Today, we’re more than just a consultancy. We partner with leaders who think ahead — and act even faster.
Who invented this?
OUTPOD emerged from the restlessness of Carlos Honorato, an economist and strategist who never accepted ready-made answers or superficial futurology. In 2014, he decided to break the mold and create something different: a consultancy that doesn't deliver slides, but provokes decisions.
The name OUTPOD came from the fusion of "thinking outside the box" and a strategic "hub"—the pod—where ideas take shape and have an impact. From the beginning, the mission was clear: to help companies think outside the box to act inside, with future scenarios, data intelligence, and strategic action.
In B2B, the focus is on strategic positioning with a survival mindset: Why should someone choose you?
When it comes to pricing, the logic is equally harsh: it's not about how much you want to charge, but about how much the market is willing to pay for the value you actually deliver.
All of this is supported by data, perceived value analysis, and... yes, possible scenarios for competitive reaction.
OUTPOD wasn't created to follow trends. It was created to anticipate them.
CEO and Founder
Carlos Honorato
"A radical strategist, he shapes the future with data, boldness, and zero patience for clichés."
Carlos Honorato is one of the leading figures in Scenario Planning in Brazil. An economist by training, with a keen eye for macroeconomics, technology, and politics, he prefers navigating uncertainty to repeating PowerPoint platitudes.
A strategy consultant for large companies, serial entrepreneur, and economic commentator, Honorato delivers analyses that are unsettling, provocative, and, above all, push leaders out of their comfort zone.
If we're going to talk about the future, he gets straight to the point: less guesswork, more data, realistic scenarios, and courageous decisions.
Our Values
At OUTPOD, we value a forward-thinking vision, critical thinking, and purposeful action. We don't follow trends—we anticipate them. We deliver with clarity, courage, and responsibility. Our compass is data, strategy, and the restlessness of those who never settle.
