FORESIGHT-DRIVEN
STRATEGY

Developing a future-ready strategy requires acknowledging future uncertainty and prioritizing key challenges that need to be addressed while remaining adaptive. Our proven Foresight-Driven Strategy approach enables companies to develop, validate and refine strategies to prepare for alternative plausible futures.

By combining an external and internal view and evaluating strategies against scenarios, we help organizations to develop and implement resilient strategies that tackle critical challenges and enable confident decision-making. 

What

Foresight-driven strategy in action 

Today, strategies need to be focused yet adaptive to effectively deal with constant change. They need to:

  • Incorporate rising levels of uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity in the external environment
  • Focus on most important challenges that need to be addressed
  • Remain flexible and adaptive
  • Be actionable and accepted for rapid implementation in the organization
Foresight-driven Strategy-Challenge

We deliver a structured methodology:

  1. Key strategic challenges: Identify and define strategic challenges emerging from ext. and int. analysis
  2. Future-ready strategy: Develop and test alternative strategies and define a future-proof strategy to address key challenges
  3. Strat. initiatives: Define initiatives & develop implementation roadmap
