Foresight - Your Future in Business

  • The pace of change is getting faster. Do you know how?
  • Where would you like your business to be in 2010?
  • Do you have big, hairy, audacious goals?
  • Do you want to plan for a successful future?
‘Your future in business’ is a training package offered by the Centre for Competitiveness to help you to answer and address these questions. There are 8 modules to choose from; you can do all of them or just one – it is up to you.
  1. An introduction to using Foresight – A powerful introduction to thinking about the future
  2. Vision – Produce a clear, compelling and informed vision of your future
  3. Setting and achieving stretch goals – Set goals you never allowed yourself to dream of before
  4. SWOT and STEEP – Use Foresight products to find out about the future drivers that could make your vision fly or blow it entirely off course
  5. Ideas – Ideas are your most valuable asset. If you think being creative is not your strong point, use this module to find out how wrong you are!
  6. Decisions and strategy – Achieving stretch goals needs really robust decision-making. What big decision do you need to make to achieve your vision?
  7. Strategic planning – Find out how to plan for a future in the sun
  8. Next steps – You have a vision – find out the support available to help you realise it
