In a world shaped by accelerating change and disruption, the ability to anticipate and influence what lies ahead is becoming a core capability for learning and development professionals. This interactive virtual session introduces the foundational concepts of futures thinking and strategic foresight, equipping participants to help their organizations prepare for multiple possible futures rather than react to surprises.

This session will show how foresight tools can elevate the talent development function as a strategic business partner. Through live practice with futures thinking activities drawn from a practical facilitator toolkit, participants will learn how to guide teams in imagining long-range possibilities, uncovering hidden risks, and identifying resilient strategies.

You will leave with:

• A structured process for leading futures conversations
• A facilitation toolkit to immediately apply in your work
• Curated resources to deepen your practice in futures thinking and strategic foresight

Join us to learn how to become a critical enabler of innovation, resilience, and future-readiness across your organization.
