Organisational Foresight

Competence foresight – proactive competence development

Market logic and customer requirements change very rapidly – and, in doing so, create new challenges for organisations moving forward. Anticipatory competence management raises the question: what must be able to do tomorrow? Which are the skills that will distinguish us from our competitors and allow us to create value for our clients?  During the project, we shall work together to develop a long-term competence strategy, which will create clarity. You will recognise gaps and white spots and be equipped to initiate the development of competence from a perspective that views the future ‘in the round’.

Transformation journeys – expeditions to tomorrow’s organisation

Only those who have experienced the future can shape it. This only sounds paradoxical when heard for the first time and is the basis for an innovative, methodical approach: We take companies, departments or teams with us into their own future on our “transformation journeys”. As the tour guide, we assume responsibility for the process, challenge the team’s mindset through cross-industry knowledge of the future and systematic thinking and, as trainers with expertise in various methods, teach techniques for shaping the future “on the fly”. Transformation journeys aim to create an openness to the future, clarity and enthusiasm in complex change processes.  We carry them out as intensive team events lasting several days or on a phased basis in a series of individual workshops.

Strategic storytelling – telling transformative stories

Change begins in the mind. Anybody wanting to instigate change must therefore have a good story. Who are we at present? Who do we want to be tomorrow? How shall we get there? Why will the world need us in future? What future do we stand for? Your future purpose story will combine the answers to these questions concisely and emotively. We shall generate specific future insights from your strategic guidelines and translate them into a strong story – culminating in its media presentation for various stakeholders, events and communication channels.

Foresight capabilities – give staff foresight

Long-term, strategic foresight is critical to success in the 21st century.  This is why more and more organisations are creating independent units or adding foresight to their strategic tools to concentrate specifically on strategic questions about the future. We will help you develop your foresight expertise and incorporate it efficiently in your strategy-related work. Here, you will benefit from our experience, dating back more than twenty years, from hundreds of foresight projects for companies from every sector and of every size.
