Identifying future trends and seizing the opportunities in the present is the key to our success – and it’s a skill we can learn."

The Anticipatory Organization® Model

The Anticipatory Organization® model is a powerful tool for leaders, emerging leaders, managers, planners, and sales teams.
You can use this model to:

KNOW WHAT’S NEXT

HARD TRENDS are certainties. They will happen, regardless of your actions. SOFT TRENDS might happen—and you can influence them. An organization that can identify certainties and future disruptions, will be better poised for success.

DEVELOP OPPORTUNITIES

Every HARD TREND provides an opportunity. The question is whether you’ll be there to capitalize on it. The Anticipatory Organization® model helps you pre-solve predictable problems in order to identify and act on game-changing opportunities.

SHAPE THE FUTURE

Your view of the future shapes the decisions you make today. And, the decisions you make will shape your future. This is your FUTUREVIEW® and it is a powerful force in shaping the future of both organizations and individuals. The Anticipatory Organization® model reveals the power of your FUTUREVIEW and teaches you to use HARD TRENDS to elevate your plans and realize the business you envision.

ACCELERATE SUCCESS

When your entire team shares a common FUTUREVIEW that’s based around the certainty of HARD TRENDS, it drives your organization’s strategic velocity and accelerates success.

Anticipation is absolutely necessary. It’s a competency every individual must address."

BE PROACTIVE,
NOT REACTIONARY

The simplicity of the Anticipatory Organization® model enables your organization to get out from under the weight of uncertainty and disruption; understand and apply complex ideas; and engage the future head on.

Our world has gotten so complex and so rapidly changing that the issues get cloudy. [Gleaning] the certainty out of all that fog is critical."

If you want to be ahead, if you want to best-in-class, anticipation is a must."

This is a set of strategies for making your firm work better in the future."

Anticipation. I’ve never really thought about it being a skill you can learn. It gave me great hope for this profession. How do you take people who are not naturally futuristic, visionary people and give them that skill. Up until now we’ve heard you had to hire someone as a consultant. Today I heard, ‘You can do this! You’ve got to put time into this, you have to put work into it, you have to change the way you think. But this is something you can do.’ Anticipation is absolutely something you can do and use in your firm."
