In this content-packed live show, I dive into Horizon Scanning & Foresight for Innovators.
No crystal balls, prophecies or predicting the future, though!
Horizon scanning is about detecting weak signals of potential change before they make it big. It keeps you prepared, and gives you and your innovation strategy a competitive edge.
In this show, I share:
What horizon scanning is, and why it’s important
The differences between foresight, forecasts and prediction
What ‘weak signals’ are, and how to spot them
Emerging trends
Tips and approaches for horizon scanning in a fast-moving, information-dense world
How to do horizon scanning with your team
Data for horizon scanning
A horizon scanning toolkit, including:Seven Questions interview technique
The Delphi technique
Futures Wheel
Text Mining – using AI to scan through large sets of text data, spotting trends in news, social media, or academic publications.
Cross-impact analysis
Scenario planning
Importance / certainty matrix
Transformation maps
It really is a value-packed whopper of a show – ideal for you if you’re planning your innovation and business growth strategy. I also share how you can access my free horizon scanning toolkit.
