   WHAT IS UNFOLDING IN YOUR BUSINESS ECOSYSTEM?

EXPLORE TRENDS AND FUTURE SCENARIOS

We utilize proven tools and methods to help facilitate the development of strategy and leadership that is fit for the future. An integrated part of that is exploring the future and what scenarios may be plausible for your business and ecosystem.

The strategic playing field of your business is not only the transactional environment of customers, suppliers and competitors that you and your management team have been trained to deal with. Rather, it's about your larger business ecosystem understanding, and the forces evolving in the world and society beyond. Businesses in the frontlines already know this, and use it to their advantage. You can too.

The concept of a 'future cone' (below) is a way to visualize the idea that as we look ahead, there are many possible ways for the future to unfold. Some are more probable than others. And, some are more preferable.

Understanding this can help you explore strategy and innovation and reach a common understanding of important issues, as well as identify pathways toward optimistic futures. Even more so, it can help you envision the futures that you as an organization want to co-create.

This is valuable input to any strategy process, where we then use back-casting to explore different paths forward.
