In our “right now world” leaders are having to navigate continuous disruption and unprecedented uncertainty across multiple dimensions. The ability to drive strategy in a traditional top down method is no longer effective or timely for the needed agility and rapid innovation. It is critical, now more than ever, to equip teams at all levels of your organization with tools and resources to better anticipate, prepare for, and adapt to changing circumstances. Too often, the pressing demands of strategy formulation and adaptation make it difficult to share the content, methods, and expertise from executive level exercises with the distributed teams across our organizations who are doing the work, navigating disruptions, and driving innovation. This session will cover the why and how of empowering your workforce through skill-building as a low-cost, high return model to bolster institutional resiliency and exponentially increase strategic capacity and capability. When you empower foresight and strategy professionals at all levels of your organization to proactively leverage the content, methods, and expertise from foresight efforts at the executive level, you exponentially increase your organization’s ability to innovate.
