FOR EXECUTIVES

Change happens quickly only for those who observe fait accompli. Whoever sees the essence of the processes - observes the change in slow motion. It is not the speed that matters, but the depth of change.

  • Society in Transit:
    generational shifts, changes in values and behavior - what tomorrow's consumers, employees, and voters will be like?
  • New Economic Models:
    Creative Economy, Experience Economy and Behavioral Economics - where and how value is created in the new economy?
  • New Economic Map of the World:
    farewell to countries: metaregions and cities as the main geoeconomic categories (deep dive into Russia, Eurasian Heartland, India, China, the Middle East).
  • New Technological Platform:
    what comes after the digital age? what ideas and solutions drive the new wave of innovations? where the new money goes?
  • ESG: Fashion, Threat or Opportunity:
    UN Sustainable Development Goals, ESG innovations in marketing, finance, manufacturing, supply chain management, assessing the social and environmental impact of business, crafting and implementing your sustainable development strategy.

FOR STRATEGY PROFESSIONALS

The changing context requires new strategic tools as well as creative application of classic ones. A strategist's job is to make sense of the change early on and find the best way to communicate their vision.

  • Strategy 101:
    we review the classic and modern concepts of strategic management and see how to creatively apply them for the modern context.
  • Working-with-the-Future Toolkit:
    when and how to use forecasting, strategic and technological foresight, trend watching, scenarios, narrative.
  • Ten Types of Innovations:
    innovations beyond product and technology - how to get the most from novels in business model and customer experience.
  • Global Strategy:
    global competitiveness and how to get the most from what the world has to offer (far beyond a foreign trade).
  • Strategies in Postmodernity and the Power of Narrative:
    effective approaches to strategizing in the postmodern times (now).
