Every week for the last year and a half our team has produced a
short video that highlights a future trend or disruptive force that
could change the world. The invitation to you and your team is to
watch this video and imagine how it might impact your industry,
your market and bring threats and opportunities to your products
and services.
Sometimes that's easy and obvious to do. But most often it isn't.
Our brains are just not programmed for Strategic Imagination.
And so, from February we are going to change the format of these
Throwforward Thursday videos. One week we will share a future trend
as we normally do; the next week, we will unpack the implications
of that trend and show you how you can apply it to your
organisation or function.
We believe that the ability to do this is an absolutely essential
skill for every member of your team to develop. This is not just
for senior leaders or people who develop the strategy - it's a
skill for everyone. We hope that you'll take time to watch our
videos each week, and discuss them with your team - not just for
some ideas of what the world of the future will look like, but also
to intentionally develop your strategic imaginations, and unlock
your team's foresight and future-awareness. You won't regret it,
and it will take less than 10 minutes a week to do.
Here's a quick video explaining the idea, and hopefully getting you
excited for this new approach we will be taking from next
month.
By the way, as always, if you'd like to send us a message, or have
a suggestion or request for a specific topic or trend, please use
