Experiential Futures for Strategy and Innovation with Roger Dennis:

This learning intensive will strengthen your approach to strategy and innovation by incorporating experiential futures into your professional toolkit. Drawing on the wildly successful ‘showcase engagement workshops’ which drew international attention and connected thousands of people to the Canterbury Health System’s vision and purpose, Roger will share how successive leaders of the Canterbury’s District Health Board embraced futures and foresight to transform a ‘broken system’ to a world-leading one.

There is an appealing simplicity about what the Canterbury health service has done. The starting place was talking with the staff. Mock-ups of healthcare settings were built in a warehouse and groups of staff walked through them to stimulate thinking on solutions for the many challenges they faced in an under-performing system. It was supposed to last a fortnight and involve about 400 people; it eventually ran for six weeks and more than 2,000 people turned up.

Join us for a transformative executive foresight workshop, "Futures Thinking and Strategy Transformation," led by futurists Professor Sohail Inayatullah and Dr. Ivana Milojevic. 

This hands-on workshop is designed to enhance long-range planning and strategic foresight for managers and leaders. Participants will explore advanced futures methodological tools, including the futures triangle, causal layered analysis, macro and micro scenarios, visioning, and backcasting. 

Through interactive sessions and case studies, attendees will clarify emerging trends, identify barriers to desired futures, and develop scenarios. and visions. The workshop aims to empower leaders to create and implement visionary strategies, fostering a deep understanding of self, leadership, and organisational transformation. With a blend of theoretical insights and practical activities, this workshop provides a robust framework for navigating and shaping the future.

Please join the Speculative Futures Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland team and Leadership Futurist Dr Cheryl Doig for an online learning lunch webinar on personal futures. 

Connect with future focused peers, learn about some futures tools to apply in your personal (and professional) life, and explore a wider range of other personal futures resources after the webinar. 

Whether you're a futures enthusiast or just looking for some useful tools to help guide you in your next chapter, this learning lunch session is a must-attend to gain valuable personal futures insights and inspiration for your own life journey.
