We have not yet learned the trick of treating the future as the present that it will soon become. That makes tomorrow feel intangible and, at times, frightening for many. How fortunate, then, that there are future-proofing professionals like Stephan Grabmeier: our podcast guest is a transformation coach and an expert at helping companies clear the hurdle toward more future-ready business models.
The first exercise usually involves sketching out a different future for the company in the first place. It sounds simple, but it is essential. “Everything we can imagine, we can ultimately achieve,” says Stephan, explaining why—beyond imagination—cooperation and resolve are the key factors that determine the success of a sustainable transformation.
So, if you no longer want to lament the future of your company (and our planet) but want to help shape it instead, you should start right here and now—and listen to our conversation with future design expert Stephan Grabmeier. Recommendation: Forward-looking.
