Beyond the Horizon: Future-Proof Innovation

Over 80% of executives say that innovation is a priority, yet less than 10% believe their organisations are innovating enough. Often the problem is that companies are trapped in a cycle of trying to satiate current market demands, where competition is already fierce and innovation is restricted to incremental improvements. The open spaces of competitive advantage can only be found further into the future.

Yet the more distant future can seem uncertain and risky, making it more challenging to analyse. We need to rely less on data and more on imagination to understand how trends impacting British businesses “ such as sustainability, customisation and competitive pressure “ will evolve over time.

This workshop will leverage the techniques that professional futurists use to identify the trends and drivers of change in manufacturing, generate alternative visions of the future and help you define what your value proposition is going to be.
