Future Proof Leadership

Future Proof Leadership: Why We Miss What’s Coming & How to Be Ready

We all know the future is more uncertain, and that change will be more rapid. Major trends shaping tomorrow include a more diverse high-expectation workforce, the emergence of Artificial Intelligence, Climate Change, faster disruptive cycles and converging international crises. While it’s helpful for a futurist to tell us what may be coming, it’s more important for leaders and organizations to be Future Proof– to learn how to anticipate future scenarios themselves and act NOW to be ready when change arrives.

Your audience will discover major trends shaping the future of work, understand why we often miss what’s coming next, hear compelling stories of those who missed what was coming and those who prepared and thrived. You will learn the power of using foresight to identify future possible scenarios, discover why low plausibility outcomes are often the most disruptive and discover the Power of Back Casting to learn how to make changes today ahead of changes coming tomorrow.

Your audience will:

  • Discover some of the major trends shaping the future of business & work.
  • Understand why we often miss what’s coming next.
  • Hear compelling stories of those who missed what was coming and suffered the consequences and those who prepared and thrived.
