Companies are developing new growth systems that focus beyond a prediction horizon – the time in the future beyond which analytic predictive approaches are not effective. Prior to this horizon, forecasting works. Beyond this horizon, they don’t and a different path is needed.
Foresight is one competency that lets a company ‘see’ beyond the prediction horizon. It helps a company be the disruptor rather than be disrupted.
This presentation covered the principles and practices of foresight and show, through examples and case studies, how they are used in a new enterprise growth system to power both profit and purpose.
