EXECUTIVE WORKSHOPS
Our work centers around innovation (design intelligence) principles: a rigorous, data-driven strategic foresight methodology that has consistently delivered results for clients for over a decade.
We support executive leadership teams in the following ways:
• Near-future decision support: helping executives prioritize decisions on emerging trends and ensuring those decisions fit into a longer-term outlook or strategy.
• Strategy support: helping executives develop their strategic plans to account for emerging trends, shifts in macro trends, and deep uncertainty in areas outside of their industry.
• Long-term planning support: helping executives develop a long-term position for their organization; developing scenarios; backcasting preferred futures back to the present day for action.
• Risk/ value identification: supporting executive leaders in building models for future risk and opportunity; prioritizing action to address those models.
• Building organizational capacity for foresight: coaching executive leaders on the core frameworks, tools and methods of strategic foresight; developing curricula and workshops for organizations who want to build a culture and practice of foresight.
