You do not need a crystal ball to see what the future holds when you have the right data!
In this WeShareTalent session, we will discuss information sources, methodology and stakeholder engagement to generate a forward looking perspective to drive business change and continuity.We cannot predict the future, but we can utilize data-driven foresights to be more prepared!
Our current reality, in both business and private life, resembles the most challenging scenarios that we have imagened in the past. A rapidly escalating post-pandamic Cost of Living Crisis, Energy Crisis, unprecedented supply disruption and political volatility represent immediate, critical challenges to business – all of which pale in significance to the developing Climate Crisis.
How can we help navigate our companies though a turbulent operating environment and deal with diverse changes, while ensuring business continuity, profitability and most importantly – that climate goals are met?
By knowing what to expect, understanding the dynamics and preparing for change.
Having a robust understanding of underlying Climate, Social and Business problems, informs us which policy and business initiatives to look for – that will be applied in mitigation. Developing a forward-looking perspective, that anticipates the timing of these initiatives, advises us of key change drivers’ impact over time. A fact-based future scenario emerges that, when structured with likelihood and impact, paves the road towards the future.
Key takeaways:
- The importance of a forward-looking perspective and what we can – and can’t – know;
- How to use data to drive a fact-based view of the future;
- How to utilize foresights & long-term change drivers to navigate turbulent operating environments.
