Gihan’s Future Proof Strategy Session
The Future Proof strategy session is a 3-4 hour facilitated session for your leadership team:
I conduct research into the main disruptive forces affecting your industry and your business, and present it to the group.
I facilitate a strategic planning discussion around these disruptive forces, and discuss how you can navigate them in the short and medium term.
My goal is for your leadership team to understand the most important future trends, identify key strategic initiatives, and be in a position to develop a strategy for their key areas of responsibility.
The Future Proof strategy session is for you if:
- You're part of a leadership team that's working in a business or industry that's facing massive change in the next 3-5 years.
- You're currently planning or working through a major strategic change in your business.
- You're a business owner who wants to give your leaders and managers an insight into future trends and opportunities.
Speaking Topics Include
Fit for the Future
Digital disruption, global reach, and the changing workplace affect us all, and at all levels - individual, team, organisation, and community. The future belongs to those with foresight, flexibility, and a forward-looking, optimistic focus.
Take an educational, eye-opening, and engaging ride into the future to learn about the global megatrends shaping your industry, the mindset that helps you lead the change, and the skills you need to get things done in a fast-changing world.
The Future of Leadership - Thinking Ahead
Our volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world needs a new kind of leadership. Your team members are smarter, more savvy and more influential than ever before. Help them bring their unique skills to the workplace – and watch your team and organisation thrive.
The Future of Work - Access All Areas
The skills you need for the future aren’t technical, task-oriented skills – because those skills will become obsolete through automation and artificial intelligence. Discover how to identify and develop the skills for your future workforce, so you can future-proof your career, team and organisation.
The Future of Innovation - Bright Sparks
Innovation is everybody’s business. People are smarter, more savvy, and more diverse than ever before, and the best leaders enlist everybody – their teams, customers, clients, peers, and community – to adapt to change, embrace it, and even lead it.
