New course available: Navigating futures- capacity building on Strategic Foresight
123 of the Fortune 500 companies, that represent the firms with the world’s highest revenues, have created a department on Strategic Foresight.
We offer training courses on anticipatory decision making – so called Strategic Foresight. The course will help innovative organisations and companies to account for potential future developments and the possible convergence of long-term trends. This, in turn, will support them in developing a long-term consistent strategy and vision, beyond mere day-to-day business. The Strategic Foresight approach and mindset will support organisations and companies in becoming more agile and more resilient in a highly complex and uncertain landscape. More generally, all decision-makers who look to think more strategically about their position and seek to improve it will find this course useful to think about the future constructively.
