Future Intelligence course

Future-intelligence-course-trainingThe Future Intelligence system is the cornerstone of Competitive Futures analysis. It is also our most popular one-day course, which has been enjoyed by thousands of executives in organizations around the world. More importantly, our clients who have taken the course have done us the great honor of reporting that they actually use the techniques they learn in real life as soon as the complete the trainig.

Outlined in Eric Garland's first book Future Inc, the system includes six techniques:

  • System mapping
  • Trend analysis
  • Forecast assessment
  • Implications distillation
  • Scenario development
  • Communications

In a single eight-hour session, executives are taught a coherent method of increasing foresight in any department of any organization. We recommend that clients invite groups of fifteen or more, as teamwork and diverse skillsets are critical to the success or organization futures. During the session, the concepts of future intelligence are introduced and then immediately put into practice with the use of a case study. We simulate a high-speed version of what you will be asked to do by forward-thinking leaders, including research and analysis of trends, discussing their potential meaning, and construction of likely scenarios.

Participants walk away from this one day course with new skillsets that they can apply immediately to their positions in business development, marketing, communications, sales, or senior leadership.

The Future Intelligence course has been taught to thousands of executives around the world, and implemented in corporations and governments. Just a few of our past clients are listed below.

Want to learn more about how you can enhance your organization's analytical capabilities? Start by downloading a free copy of Eric Garland's book Future, Inc: How Businesses Can Anticipate and Profit from What's NEXT, which explores many of these topics in detail.
