Curious about what a wildly successful application of foresight looks like inside one of the world’s most innovative companies?
Join Bob Johansen, IFTF Distinguished Fellow and former president of IFTF, in conversation with Dr. Debra France, founder of the Fostering Innovation consultancy, as they explore the foresight innovation journey of a renowned innovation company and material science leader. In her leadership development role at the company, Debra partnered with IFTF to create a custom forecast by engaging the company’s emerging leaders. The CEO had challenged these young leaders to develop an outside-in perspective and shape a 10-year strategy that these leaders would inherit.
Learn how – with guidance from IFTF – these emerging leaders developed their strategic foresight, contributed to the company’s custom forecast, and identified probable disruptions to the company’s previous strategic plans.
