In Episode 4 of The TomorrowToday Podcast, Buhle and Graeme dive into an interesting conversation about understanding the trends shaping the future.
Graeme and Buhle discuss the TIDES framework, through which we can examine disruptive change and then adapt our strategic business approaches.
Being ready for the future and thinking like a futurist is not about knowing exactly what’s going to happen in the future. It’s about ensuring that you know how you will handle whatever does happen. It’s about knowing what to do when you don’t know what to do. And one of the ways you can build this capacity, to be able to handle change and disruption, is by practicing extending your strategic imagination.

In this episode Graeme and Buhle discuss why it’s important for leaders to regularly exercise the scenario-thinking muscle in business. Regularly thinking about different scenarios that might disrupt your business and how you and your team might approach those scenarios should be an ongoing part of your business agenda so that everyone in the organization develops the muscle for future preparedness.
You can also watch this episode on YouTube if you prefer.
Some final questions to consider:
1. What frameworks are you using to think about disruption?
2. Do you have a radar system in place for detecting disruption?
3. Are you updating your view of the future regularly?
4. Do you get everyone in your team/organisation involved?
