The Virtual Book Club is interactive and attendees have the opportunity to ask questions and join the conversation in a relaxed setting. Not to be missed!
About the book - Facing Our Futures:
A fascinating insight into how professionals and businesses can develop their foresight and strategy to ensure that they are prepared for an unpredictable future.
Businesses, organisations and society at large are all subject to unforeseeable events and incidents that often have a dramatic impact on prosperity and profit. Due to their unpredictable nature, business leaders and executive teams are unable to prepare for these specific events. But, through innovation, strategising and an open-minded approach, they can restructure their organisation and practices in order to mitigate such events.
In 'Facing Our Futures', Nikolas Badminton draws upon his decades of experience as a Consultant and Futurist to provide readers with the skillset and outlook they need to prepare their organisation for whatever obstacles the future may hold.
Facing Our Futures acts as a primer on the value of seeing how bad things can get and the power in imagining these futures. It also provides strategic planning and foresight methodology - the Positive Dystopia Canvas (PDC) - that allows leaders to supercharge their teams to build evocative visions of futures that strengthen planning.
