The ability for leaders to anticipate change has always been a source of competitive advantage, but in a world defined by uncertainty, disruption, and constant change, this has become more important than ever. The Futurist’s Toolkit helps leaders think differently about what lies ahead so they can prepare their people and operate more effectively.
Drawing on nearly two decades as a business futurist, Simon Waller unpacks the tools, techniques, and mindsets used to scan for change, explore divergent futures, and challenge assumptions. Rather than focusing on narrow and specific forecasts, this session builds broad leadership capability to deal with whatever the future brings.
Participants will walk away with the ability to:
- Move from reactive to pre-emptive thinking
- Ask better strategic questions that uncover opportunities and risks
- Surface emerging trends and potential challenges earlier
- Engage teams in more productive conversations about the future
The Challenge
Why This Workshop?
Leaders are increasingly realising that traditional planning approaches, which rely on predictability and efficiency, no longer hold when the future is unclear. This workshop helps leaders and teams overcome the inertia of uncertainty through structured approaches and practical strategies.
Although it is also offered as a keynote, the workshop format allows for deeper exploration of specific challenges or business questions.
Not just yet but I’d like to download the brochure.
Audience
Who is This For?
This session is equally applicable for leaders, boards, and decision makers navigating complex challenges and operational teams looking for clarity and direction in an uncertain environment.
Timing
Ideal Timing
The Futurist’s Toolkit works best during annual planning, strategy sessions or leadership off-sites when there is a need to step beyond immediate pressures and consider long term impact. It can be delivered in a half day, one day or two day format depending on the depth required.
