Sense and Shape the Future

How can you credibly sense and shape the future? It’s challenging to prepare for and shape the future because of its volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) nature. Leaders must proactively contend with the VUCA nature of the future to respond to threats and capitalize on growth opportunities. While it’s not possible to predict the exact future, a leader can gain foresight into future possibilities by analyzing how current trends and signals might impact the organization if these trends and signals were amplified over time.

  1. Reflect on your current approach to forecasting and preparing for the future.
  2. Explore a framework for sensing and shaping the future.
