Collaboration & KM
With the recent global disruption of traditional work and the forced movement of many people to work from home (#WFH), their vision has become a reality. Unfortunately, not every organization was ready to get the most out of their remote workers. In many cases, organizations found their people were undertrained, that they had too many.
Future of Work and Strategy
Scenarios help organizations challenge assumptions, develop early warning systems, and avoid surprises. We use scenarios to faciliate strategic dialog, drive innovation, and create thought leadership. Scenarios identify the critical uncertainties related to a business area or market and use them to build narratives about the future. These narratives can then be used to explore strategic.
