Break Bias & Blind Spots With Foresight at Work
You know how frustrating it is when foresight is disconnected from day-to-day operations? When it should be on the agenda because it's getting urgent?
If you hate vague or hypothetical discussions, a lack of action-taking, or forgetting to address pressing issues or current realities, but do need to look forward, then we're on the same team.
Because that's what I fix.
I turn foresight into concrete action plans for strategy, innovation, and employee engagement.

Futurist Barbara's purpose is to:

Turn Foresight Into Concrete Action Plans???
I won't deny that we must do the work: scanning, sense-making, and extrapolating.
But we will connect the work to current realities. Turn the conclusions into a strategic agenda and/or an innovation pipeline. And we will include a cross-functional team to help us.
We will have fun and quick success to showcase.
From day one, everyone involved will engage eagerly with the future performance of your organization. Yes, your organizational culture will open up to new insights and initiate new ideas as if it was the normalest thing.
But the best part is when I leave.
At that point, you will have the sources, the library, the charts, and the know-how to keep ahead. And it will only take quick and easy updates.
- So, if you want your action-oriented, current-issue-minded, yet super-ambitious team to up their performance to the next level;
- But don't want to:
- Get all excited by futurist presentations to smack back to normal the very next minute without looking back;
- Or take the futurist with you only to drown in seemingly irrelevant, wide-ranging, and repetitive discussions that lead to nothing;
- And feel the need to look ahead and keep your competitive edge fresh and relevant:
