Curious about what a wildly successful application of foresight looks like inside one of the world’s most innovative companies?

On November 21, 2024, Bob Johansen, IFTF Distinguished Fellow and former president of IFTF, had a conversation with Dr. Debra France, founder of the Fostering Innovation consultancy, exploring 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.
