Leading the Company with External Networks: Key to Shaping the Future.
Description

Can you think of previously successful companies that are struggling now because they couldn't anticipate rapidly changing future conditions? To ensure your organization won't fall into that trap, you need to anticipate and adjust to future conditions. You need to understand what the future likely holds! To shape your future, you need insights from internal and external connections. Establishing internal connections requires the integration of the whole organization. External connections are needed for inspiration and innovation. Shaping the future requires good feedforward loops to guide you today drawn from your model of the future. But how in these volatile times can you continuously update your understanding of the future? One way is to collect the thinking of different actors from different industries - relying on the wisdom of the crowd. And, that leads to the question of how can we gather a crowd? This workshop focuses on exploring strategies for gathering such crowds. By initiating collaborative future governance networks, companies can better foresee society's rapidly changing needs. We will create an opportunity for you to rough draft a plan for your company to work with other organizations to strengthen your company's picture of its future.
