Training

Humanity is facing geopolitical, technological, and socioeconomic disruption at a speed and scale without precedent. In this context, only organizations that can anticipate change, navigate uncertainty, and innovate in both thought and action will survive—and secure a decisive strategic edge.

But survival is not enough. As global crises converge and global risks multiply, companies and societies need more than reactive, short-term fixes. They need leaders who can embrace complexity, challenge our understanding of the present, and act collaboratively in the face of the unknown. Leaders willing to experiment with the new and unprecedented and to imagine—and work toward—shared, better futures.

Are you ready to be one of them?

EXECUTIVE PROGRAMS

We offer foresight executive trainings for senior executives of private companies, international organizations, and governments who want to gain fresh perspectives on present challenges and opportunities, future-proof their organizations and lead them in new, transformative ways. 

You can choose the length and specific content of the training by fine-tuning our existing programs to meet the needs of your organization:

    THE WORLD OF TOMORROW

    This 3-week program is an immersive journey that challenges business and public leaders to rethink how they understand disruption, anticipate change, and shape the future of their organizations. Through study tours across three continents, participants engage directly with world-class academics and practitioners, and explore how leading public and private institutions are navigating today’s most pressing challenges and preparing for what lies ahead.

    FUTURE TRENDS

    This week-long program equips leaders with a deep understanding of how emerging technologies are reshaping key sectors—from finance and business to national defense and international relations. Participants learn directly from leading experts, examine real-world cases of transformation, and design forward-looking strategies to ensure their institutions not only stay competitive, but thrive in the digital age.

OUR FORESIGHT TOOLBOX

Decision-making in today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world is increasingly risky and costly. Foresight analysis offers one of the most effective ways to reduce those risks: expanding leaders’ perspectives, uncovering hidden dynamics, and generating a wider range of strategic options. 

All of our trainings integrate foresight workshops that draw on diverse analytical techniques, such as:

  • Detect drivers of change that could disrupt your business, so you can be prepared to respond.

  • Work backwards from a desirable future to identify the actions needed to get there.

  • Identify ranges of potential outcomes and estimated impacts, evaluate responses, and manage for both positive and negative possibilities.

  • Identify and question the conscious and unconscious assumptions that shape your analysis.
