| Details: |
Two-thirds of a sample of corporate strategists admitted that their companies had been surprised -- more than once -- by high-impact events in the past five years. Why are organizations so often surprised? Usually, some people knew in advance about the event that became a surprise. But management didn't know they knew. There are usually plenty of weak signals on the periphery that, in retrospect, held clues. Organizations need to develop the capacity to discern these signals while attending to their short-term goals. With examples from the low-carb diet craze to Barbie® dolls, Paul will describe a seven-step process that shows managers how to watch for the signals on the periphery while keeping an eye on the day-to-day business. He will be joined by experienced SDG strategists who will discuss how managers can create opportunity from this powerful idea. Also feel free to visit DSI's PV Blog for more insight, commentary, and exchange on peripheral vision. |

Are you aware of the trends affecting the future of HR? Are you and your organization ready to deal with their impact? In this engaging session, Dr. Parayre will share the secrets of strategic decision-making in uncertain conditions. He'll draw upon findings from the report, "The Future of HR - Four Scenarios for 2015," to help executives and HR practitioners plan for an uncertain future. Dr. Parayre will show us how to apply a new, strategic lens to identify effective HR practices and ensure success along a range of potential future scenarios. Join us and learn why scenario planning is not about predicting the future, but about tracking and monitoring continuities and uncertainties so that leaders can recognize trends ahead of the curve. |
