Use #Mindcandy as a strategic sensing engine to help leadership teams identify the signals they are missing. It fuels the strategic conversation about what is next. DM “SIGNALS” if you want to find out more.
My latest book is out: STOP PREDICTING — 13 lessons from 1,400 attempts to see what was coming.
For the past three and a half years, I have been scanning weak signals almost every day: AI, biology, robotics, energy, materials, quantum, leadership, culture and everything in between. About 80% of my attempts to anticipate what might happen were wrong. That turned out to be the lesson.
The value of foresight is not being right about the future. It is becoming better at noticing change, challenging assumptions, connecting signals and preparing options before everyone else sees the same thing. The book distills 1,400 Mindcandy prompts into 13 lessons about strategy, disruption and staying useful when the world refuses to behave according to plan.

The leadership question
Is your leadership team trying to predict what will happen, or building the capacity to respond intelligently to whatever happens?
The future fitness move
Stop asking for a better forecast. Build a better sensing system. Scan widely, connect unrelated signals, challenge what you think you know and turn uncertainty into strategic options.
