Leadership Peach: Module 6

Module 6 (Morning Session)
November 27, 2023 at the Byron Welcome Center
8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Primer: Gaining a Future Orientation
The Leader is responsible for the organization's Future success yet many live and operate in the current moment. A Leader's imperative is to learn how to anticipate and shape the Future such that the organization not only survives but prospers. Unfortunately, many Leaders are not well-versed in this critical competency. This learning module postures the Leader to gain a new mental model, a new time orientation -- a Future Orientation.

Deeper Dive: Systems Thinking
Systems Thinking is a Future's tool that addresses cause and effect. In this learning module, Systems Thinking will be explored and key tools explained that every Leader can use to leverage his/her operation. Beware. Once introduced, it becomes difficult to avoid usage.

Deeper Dive: Foresight
The Future cannot be predicted but it can be shaped if the right techniques and approaches are used. Foresight has numerous tools that can be used to great effect to gain awareness of trends, patterns, and events that will impact each of us. This deep dive explores macro level Foresight approaches.
