Assumptions are key

...but the environment keeps changing

FutureBuilding does planning differentlySunday, 23 January 2011

Some principles

Sunday, 23 January 2011

The future does not exista priori

Sunday, 23 January 2011

The future is a set of possibilities that can be influenced by purposeful behaviour

discovery

choice action

Sunday, 23 January 2011

No monarchy has fomented its own overthrow

Sunday, 23 January 2011

FutureBuilding does not attempt to predict the future

Alternative futures are possible

Sunday, 23 January 2011

FutureBuilding focuses on developing the capabilities needed for alternative futures

Sunday, 23 January 2011

It is better to be vaguely right than completely wrong

Clem SunterSunday, 23 January 2011

DIY FutureBuilding

Sunday, 23 January 2011

In your “environment”, identify:✓ key trends✓ important drivers of change✓ most significant uncertainties

1

*Remember to use Pathfinders

Sunday, 23 January 2011

Select the 2* dimensions that explain the most DIFFERENCE in the data. Then construct a set of skeleton scenarios --> alternative futures

Select the 2* dimensions that explain the most DIFFERENCE in the data. Then construct a set of skeleton scenarios --> alternative futures

2Sunday, 23 January 2011

Make the stories (scenarios) as complete as possible - describe what life is like in that future world

Flesh out the skeletons into stories for each of the alternative futures3

Sunday, 23 January 2011

Develop the “winning” strategy for you to win in each of these alternative futures4

Sunday, 23 January 2011

Develop the “winning” strategy for you to win in each of these alternative futures4

Consider all aspects of the strategy✓ product / service✓ market / customer✓ value proposition✓ how you will differentiate yourself✓ relationship architecture✓ how you will make a return

Sunday, 23 January 2011

Identify the key capabilities you will need to develop to execute the winning strategies5

Sunday, 23 January 2011

Identify the key capabilities you will need to develop to execute the winning strategies5

Several classes of capability✓ knowledge of techniques, processes, issues✓ understanding of industries, types of clients✓ key skills and competencies✓ relationship architecture✓ reputation, track record, credibility✓ assets, tools, infrastructure✓ qualifications, licenses, permits

Now you do it...

Sunday, 23 January 2011

Building your future1. Identify key trends, drivers and uncertainties

2. Construct your skeleton scenarios by choosing 2 orthogonal dimensions (max the difference in data)

3. Flesh out alternative stories of the future

4. Build “winning strategies” for each alternative future

5. Identify the key capabilities required for each strategy

6. Action plan to develop common capabilities

A few interesting thoughts from prominent FutureBuilders

Sunday, 23 January 2011

“You can’t just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you’ve got it built, they’ll want something new.

There’s an old Wayne Gretsky quote that I love. ‘I skate where the puck is going to be, not where it has been..’”

Thanks to Craig Rispin

Sunday, 23 January 2011

“The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at roughly a factor of two per year”

Extract from Moore's original paper in 1965

Gordon Moore - co-founder of Intel

Thanks to Craig Rispin

Sunday, 23 January 2011

“Don’t let the future just happen to you - go and create you own ideal future!”

Craig Rispin - Futurist

Strategy is different to planningA simple distinction

Planning = setting objectives and actions to achieve a goal

Strategy = positioning and equipping you and the business for the future

Better understanding through a study of military history and Napoleon’s exploits

Strategy vs. Planning

Strategy vs. Planning

Planning (Jomini) Strategy (Napoleon)

Approach

1. Establish your base of ops

2. Determine objective point3. Choose lines of ops to

move your army forward

1. Learn from history and your experience2. Clear your mind - immerse yourself in

battle3. Wait for flash of insight as elements

combine in unique way4. Act with resolution

Success By having greater force than enemy at objective point

By identifying the “decisive point” in the battle

Objective Chosen before - then move to achieve it

Not chosen before - emerges as you learn and adapt

Key Objective point Decisive point
