Everyone says teams have to pay more attention to the future, but how?
This modular series of workshops provides key skills to systematically build more awareness of the future into an organisation – and to act on it:
Creative Problem Solving
A key foundation for responding to the challenges of the future are the skills of coming up with creative responses. The Creative Problem Solving methodology is a coherent set of practices that help teams find the right problem and come up with innovative solutions.
Systems/Complexity Tools
Seeing the linkages between things, understanding that things have multiple causes, that situations can emerge from a number of factors. These are vital skills in translating from possible future events to action in the present.
Horizon Scanning/Futures
Almost everything organisations do comes to fruition in the future. To match up to future circumstances, teams to need to develop lightweight, practical systems for scanning the horizon. You can’t predict what will happen, but you can be much better prepared for a range of possibilities – if you make looking ahead a regular practice.
Modular Workshop Design
These workshops can be scaled to fit your team size and availability. As a set, they substantially improve the ability of the organisation to deal with the future. They can also be commissioned individually to fill particular skills gaps.
