« Dear Isabelle, we are very grateful for your tailoring and delivering the Cash Operations Future Workshop –
Scenarios method to us and our CEE colleagues in October 23 in Prague.
Both us, as organizers and the participants got really engaged and found a lot of value in learning and applying the knowledge about future scenario creation with all it involves.
We really appreciate your professionalism, your energy and the dedication you applied in your work, as well as the great, effervescent atmosphere you helped creating.
We believe our cash operations leaders will be able to apply the knowledge gained towards building flexibility in our approach of the future challenges. »

Navigating an uncertain future with strategic foresight
In today's volatile business environment, success depends on navigating through headwinds and turbulence – through risks and uncertainties.
Like a kite flying in the wind.
In this increasingly complex and uncertain environment, conventional risk management based on predictability becomes obsolete.
The primary tool for navigating an increasingly unpredictable environment is strategic foresight.
Building on systematic examination of the future, strategic foresight explores relevant interactions between trends and uncertainties – from consumers and technology to socio-economic and geopolitical developments.
The benefits: a robust strategy
Get an actionable picture of future developments.
Discover hidden opportunities and necessary changes.
Transform risks and uncertainties into a robust strategy: one that works across a wide range of futures.
How do we do that?
-
By conducting thorough research into business-relevant trends, risks and uncertainties.
-
By systematically exploring their interactions to identify 3 to 6 distinctive, plausible future scenarios.
-
By determining what actions your organisation would need to take in each scenario, so that by aggregating them you will uncover the recurring patterns of change that drive a robust strategy.
When was the last time you put your organisation to the test of the future?
Find out how we can help your business
build a robust strategy in a changing environment.
