A New Framework for Anticipatory leadership
There’s a paradox at the heart of many leadership practices today. While leaders have the responsibilityof steering their organisations through times of change and uncertainty, few dedicate time orresources to systematically exploring what might lie ahead. By combining leadership theory with strategic foresight, futurist Lasse Jonasson introduces a framework for anticipatory leadership – designed to help executives match the way they lead to the world they are likely to inhabit.
Foresight Through Provocations
Provocation is an integral part of foresight processes. It serves to push people out of the comfort of linear thinking, challenging established truths and forcing a reassessment of assumptions and worldviews. In the best case, it leads to an expansion of what feels possible and plausible. A new method developed by CIFS futurist Simon Fuglsang Østergaard – presented here in its ‘prototype’ stage – seeks to turn this implicit byproduct of foresight into an explicit and easily accessible method.
The Business of Foresight
Foresight takes on different shapes depending on the domain in which it is practised. In a corporate context, it faces a unique set of challenges – among them, how to demonstrate value in ROI-driven environments and how to ensure it is seen as a strategic necessity rather than mere inspiration. In this contribution, CIFS Associated Partner Joanna Lepore offers her insights and lessons drawn from her extensive experience in the world of corporate foresight.
