FIF Series EP 74 - Building Future-Ready Teams
We explore how organizations can build truly future-ready teams that don't just respond to change, but anticipate and shape it by embedding foresight into their organizational DNA.
• Qualities of future-ready teams: cognitive flexibility, embracing productive uncertainty, anticipatory learning, and strategic agility
• Building futures literacy throughout your organization through experiential learning rather than traditional training
• Integrating futures thinking into existing processes rather than treating it as a separate activity
• Creating collaborative foresight practices that involve diverse perspectives across the organization
• Developing clear futures roles and responsibilities at different organizational levels
• Building capabilities through targeted development programs combined with practical application
• Cultivating cultural elements that support futures thinking: learning orientation, balanced time horizons, psychological safety, and narrative competence
• Starting small with strategic teams where improved futures thinking creates immediate value
• Creating supporting structures and measuring both capability development and tangible impact
Join us next time as we explore how to implement the futures operating system, a comprehensive framework for embedding foresight into your organization's processes, decision-making, and strategic rhythm.
