CORPORATE FORESIGHT: USING FUTURES THINKING TO ENHANCE ORGANISATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
The opportunity for CEO’s and other senior leaders to improve their leadership effectiveness and organisational performance through futures thinking and strategy development is examined.
Three areas for examination are discussed:
Corporate Foresight and Deep Learning
Corporate Foresight and Leadership
Corporate Foresight and Strategy Development
These three areas are the essence for success as they cover the human dimension as well as the strategic dimension needed for highly productive and successful outcomes that do no harm. Effective corporate foresight and strategy development occurs when the four ‘castings’ (4Cs) are created: backcasting, incasting, forecasting, and then broadcasting the new narrative, the new story.
