It’s becoming increasingly clear that more than your current day “business ways” are required. Companies must adopt new ways of thinking and operating to create sustainable growth now and in the future. This is where my expertise in future thinking can be invaluable.
As a futures thinker, I specialize in helping companies and their employees navigate the complexities of an uncertain future. I have spent years studying emerging trends, analyzing data, and developing strategies to help organizations create a roadmap for sustainable growth. One of the fundamental tenets of my approach is the belief that the future is not predetermined. Instead, it is a constantly evolving landscape that can be shaped and influenced by today’s decisions. By taking a proactive approach to the future, companies can position themselves to capitalize on emerging trends and create sustainable growth.
To achieve this, I work closely with companies to identify their goals and objectives, assess their current strengths and weaknesses, and develop a customized roadmap for the future. This roadmap is designed to be flexible and adaptive, allowing companies to pivot and adjust as new opportunities and challenges arise.
One of the hallmarks of my approach is the emphasis on collaboration and engagement. The best solutions come from diverse perspectives, and I work closely with companies and their employees to encourage open dialogue and the sharing of ideas. This helps generate new insights and strategies and fosters a culture of innovation and creativity that can help companies thrive in an uncertain future.
In addition to helping companies develop strategies for the future, I also provide training and coaching for employees to help them develop the skills and mindset needed to navigate an uncertain future. This includes training in critical thinking, strategic planning, and innovation.
Companies can gain a competitive advantage in an ever-changing landscape by working with me. By adopting a futures thinking approach, companies can create sustainable growth now and in the future, while fostering a culture of innovation, engagement, and collaboration.

Below are actions that companies can take to create sustainable growth:
- Conduct a future scan: One of the first steps in creating a roadmap for the future is to conduct a thorough scan of emerging trends and potential disruptors. This involves analyzing data, conducting research, and engaging with experts to identify potential drivers of change.
- Develop multiple scenarios: Once the future scan is complete, it’s important to develop numerous scenarios based on the potential drivers of change identified. This involves creating a range of plausible futures and assessing the potential impacts of each scenario on the company.
- Identify key strategic levers: Based on the multiple scenarios developed, it’s important to identify the key strategic levers that will enable the company to create sustainable growth in each scenario. This involves assessing the company’s current strengths and weaknesses and identifying the areas where the company can most effectively leverage its resources.
- Foster a culture of innovation: To create sustainable growth in an uncertain future, fostering innovation and creativity is essential. This involves encouraging employees to think outside the box, experiment with new ideas, and take calculated risks.
- Develop a flexible and adaptive strategy: Rather than a rigid plan, it’s important to develop one that can pivot and adjust as new opportunities and challenges arise. This involves developing a decision-making framework based on ongoing monitoring and evaluation.
- Prioritize employee development: To navigate an uncertain future, it’s essential to have a skilled and agile workforce. This involves investing in employee development programs that help employees develop the critical thinking, strategic planning, and innovation skills needed to thrive in an uncertain future.
- Engage in ongoing learning and adaptation: Finally, it’s important to engage in continuous learning and adaptation to ensure that the company remains agile and responsive to emerging trends and potential disruptors. This involves staying abreast of emerging trends, engaging with experts and peers, and continuously evaluating and refining the company’s strategy.

As we look towards the future, it’s becoming increasingly clear that more traditional business ways are needed. To create sustainable growth now and in the future, companies must adopt new practices of thinking and operating. This is where changing the register comes into play.
Changing the register refers to significant changes in the organization’s operations, beliefs, business model, core values, culture, and strategies. This often involves redefining the organization’s purpose, goals, and objectives and adopting new technologies, processes, and structures. Here are some reasons why changing the register is necessary:
- Respond to emerging trends and disruptors: By changing the register, companies can respond to emerging trends and potential disruptors that may impact the business. This includes conducting a future scan to identify potential drivers of change and developing multiple scenarios based on these trends.
- Foster a culture of innovation and creativity: Changing the register can also foster a culture of innovation and creativity within the organization. By encouraging employees to think outside the box, experiment with new ideas, and take calculated risks, companies can position themselves to thrive in an uncertain future.
- Improve productivity and efficiency: By adopting new technologies and processes, companies can improve productivity and efficiency, allowing them to do more with less. This can help companies remain competitive and create sustainable growth in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
- Enhance customer experience: Changing the register can also help companies enhance the customer experience by adopting new technologies and processes that enable more personalized and efficient interactions. This can help companies build stronger relationships with customers and drive long-term loyalty.
- Promote diversity, equity, and inclusion: Changing the register can also promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within the organization. By prioritizing diversity and inclusion in hiring, promotion, and decision-making processes, companies can foster a more equitable workplace culture that values and respects all employees.
