From Adaptation to Anticipation: preparing for what’s next
Uncertainty is becoming a constant challenge for organisations. More data, dashboards, task forces and reactive measures can help manage disruption — but they don’t necessarily help you get ahead of what’s coming.
So how can organisations move from reacting to change to anticipating it?
That’s the focus of our From Adaptation to Anticipation webinar, the first session in our Scenario to Success series. Watch the recorded session here.
Beyond forecasting: exploring possible futures
Traditional forecasting often extends current trends into the future. But when the environment is volatile, complex and unpredictable, that approach has its limits.
Strategic foresight offers a different perspective: instead of looking for one predicted future, explore multiple plausible futures.
Think of it as moving from a crystal ball to a kaleidoscope — considering different ways the future could unfold and using those insights to make better decisions today.
Three steps towards anticipation
In the webinar, we explore how organisations can:
- Sense what is changing and identify emerging signals.
- Explore multiple futures rather than relying on a single forecast.
- Make more robust decisions by testing strategies against different scenarios.
The goal isn’t to predict the future perfectly. It’s to build the capacity to prepare for several possible futures — and act with greater confidence when conditions change.
