„Foresight ist etwas, das man kontinuierlich betreiben sollte und nicht erst im Krisenmodus. Wenn ich mich kontinuierlich mit der Zukunft beschäftige, dann werde ich in der Regel auch nicht so oft überrascht und kann die eine oder andere Sache viel schneller umsetzen in der Organisation oder vielleicht eine Strategie anpassen.“

In dieser Folge haben wir wieder mal gleich 2 spannende Gäste bei uns: Carolin Šalé und Steffen Kuhn, zwei herausragende Experten im Bereich Strategic Design, Innovation Management und Foresight von Detecon Consulting. 

Gemeinsam mit Caro und Steffen erkunden wir die Bedeutung von Foresight in einer sich schnell wandelnden Welt und enthüllen, warum diese Praxis als das neue "Design Thinking" gehandelt wird. Die beiden teilen ihre Einsichten, wie Unternehmen Foresight erfolgreich nutzen können, um zukünftige Herausforderungen zu bewältigen. Wir diskutieren Methoden, Tools und Fallstricke bei der Entwicklung von Zukunftsszenarien und Strategien. 

Diese Folge bietet wertvolle Einblicke und praktische Ratschläge für alle, die in einer sich ständig verändernden Geschäftswelt innovativ und erfolgreich sein möchten.
