We are excited to launch our inaugural White Paper in collaboration with GIBS Business School (Gordon Institute of Business Science)‘s Personal and Applied Learning Centre. It emphasises the importance of anticipating and embracing uncertainty instead of fearing it. Futures Consciousness offers a set of strategic foresight skills for the future-fit because, as per Peter Drucker: “The best way to predict the future is to create it”. You can also access the full paper above and sign up for our 2-day Futures-Ready Executive Programme at GIBS launching early in 2025. More to come on this.

“According to a 2018 study by Rohrbeck and Kum, “vigilant” or adequately futures-prepared organisations were “33% more profitable than the average” and, from a growth perspective, outshone what the researchers dubbed “neurotic” (overprepared), “vulnerable” (underprepared), and “in-danger” (notably underprepared) firms by recording 75% growth in market capitalisation over a seven-year period (2008–2015), “or 200% additional growth”. The futures-prepared have one thing that separates them from the rest – Futures Intelligence. It is the difference between anticipating, embracing and navigating uncertainty and fearing it.”

I’m not saying that empathy isn’t necessary – it’s vital, BUT it’s not enough – leaders
need to be CARING and HIGH PERFORMING.  The question is … can
you be BOTH?
