C-7 Fierce Foresight: Creating Tomorrow Out of the Changes of Today

Fierce Foresight is a one-day intensive workshop for members of senior management, strategic leaders, strategic planners and foresight consultants to help them lead their organizations into an uncertain future.
By the end of this workshop participants will be able to challenge the strength of current business in an ever-changing future; be introduced to new processes and tools to help shift the leadership focus from being predominantly tactical (strategic near-sightedness) to strategic; and have developed a “strategic foresight” dashboard that will enable them to identify and actively manage emerging strategic issues, hence capitalizing on future opportunities and minimize future threats.

The highlights of this workshop will be the “Black Swan” challenge and the creation of a simple but powerful strategic dashboard. The Black Swan experience, which will be conducted in teams, will provide participants with a powerful tool to use with senior management and/or strategic leadership teams to help identify significant strategic risks (the Black Swan) as well as strategic opportunities (the Golden Goose).

The resulting capability of “Fierce Foresight” will provide strategic leaders with enhanced views of the future by the robust, intense, passionate, bold and relentless pursuit of insight and foresight and, hence, the creation of its future.
Highlights: Participants will leave this course with an understanding of:

• “Fierce foresight” and the factors contributing to “strategic near-sightedness.”
• A proven “shock and awe” technique (the Black Swan) that motivates senior management teams to embrace “fierce foresight” as a strategic mindset and address the factors contributing to strategic near-sightedness.
• A simple, but powerful strategic foresight dashboard to provide real-time management of strategic opportunities and threats.
