4 We often expect that: Running a successful business is about outcompeting our rivals. 4

5 Would it not be nice if we could systematically prepare to occupy a superior position in an attractive market of the future? 5

6 WE ARE CURRENTLY IN A TIME WHERE THE AVERAGE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF LARGE FIRMS HAS DECREASED TO ABOUT 25 YEARS Average company lifespan on S&P 500 index (in years) Projections based on current data

7 IT IS NOT A NEW DISCOVERY THAT ORGANIZATIONS NEED TO GET BETTER AT SYSTEMATICALLY PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE. Source: Hamel. G. and C.K. Prahalad (1994) Competing for the Future 7

8 THE FIRST CHALLENGE IS A LACK OF ATTENTION ON BUILDING A FUTURE PERSPECTIVE Attention on surviving the future of destiny driving towards the future of desire 3% 8

9 Once we have achieved to shift attention towards building a future perspective we can ask:: What can we do today to build a superior position in the markets of tomorrow? 9

10 A SMALL TEST HOW WELL PREPARED ARE YOU FOR THE FUTURE? Industry 4.0 Industry 4.0 (or digital manufacturing) is a technological concept composed of different technological elements (electronics and IT) to further automate production. Industry 4.0 technologies include 3D printing, robotics, adaptive Computer Numerical Control mills (machines that cut based on programmed commands) and the use of data tools and analytics across the value chain. Impact: German manufacturers expect a productivity gain of 20 30% (excluding material cost), revenue growth of 30 billion EUR per year, demanding 250 billion EUR in the next 10 years. Digitalization Digitization is expanding from a web phenomenon to impact whole sectors of economies; such is the rapid pace that some have compared it to the industrial revolution. It is transforming jobs, competition, and business models and bringing together the physical and digital worlds. Smartphones are at the forefront of this revolution, extending the platform model beyond consumer communications into goods and services led by firms such as Uber and Airbnb. Impact: Connected devices will grow in the next decade from 9 bn to 50 bn. People state that they use mobile devices to be better informed (86%), travel more comfortable (73%), improve teamwork (45%). 40% of people sozialize more online than they do fact to face. 10

11 A SMALL TEST HOW WELL PREPARED ARE YOU FOR THE FUTURE? Industry 4.0 Which of these trends are you aware off? Industry 4.0 (or digital manufacturing) is a technological concept composed of different technological elements 2 (electronics and IT) to further automate production. Industry 4.0 technologies include 3D printing, robotics, adaptive Computer Numerical Control mills (machines that cut 3 based on programmed commands) and the use of data have you tools and analytics across the value chain. 1 Digitalization Digitization is expanding from a web phenomenon to impact whole sectors can you quantify of economies; such is the rapid pace the impact you that some have compared it to the your business? industrial revolution. It is transforming jobs, competition, and business models and bringing together the physical and digital worlds. Smartphones are at the forefront of this revolution, extending the platform prepared two or model beyond consumer communications into goods and more alternative services led by firms such as Uber and Airbnb. Impact: German manufacturers expect a productivity gain response of 20 30% (excluding material cost), revenue growth of 30 strategies? billion EUR per year, demanding 250 billion EUR in the next 10 years. Impact: Connected devices will grow in the next decade from 9 bn to 50 bn. People state that they use mobile devices to be better informed (86%), travel more comfortable (73%), improve teamwork (45%). 40% of people sozialize more online than they do fact to face. 11

12 OUR RESEARCH PROGRAM INCLUDES DEEP CASE STUDIES AND LARGE SCALE BENCHMARKING STUDIES CASE STUDIES BENCHMARKING STUDY 2008 BENCHMARKING STUDY 2015 Focus on configuration of corporate foresight systems and generic value contributions Focus on the impact of corporate foresight on innovation and firm performance 12

13 BUILDING A FUTURE PERSPECTIVE INVOLVES BUILDING THREE CORE PROCESSES. 1 Identify 80% key factors that influence your target markets and most of them ahead of rivals PERCEIVING (to achieve lead time in detection of change) 2 Create understanding of interdependency of factors, to prepare and anticipate tipping points PROSPECTING (to built a insight advantage) 3 Monitor and drive influencing factors and enable iterative entrepreneurial bricolage PROBING (competitive advantage) 13

14 PERCEIVING STARTS WITH BEING SYSTEMATIC ABOUT BUILDING SENSORS THAT DETECT WEAK SIGNALS ON FUTURE TRENDS. 14

15 CORPORATE FORESIGHT INTEGRATES MARKET AND TECHNOLOGY INSIGHTS ACROSS TIME HORIZONS TO IDENTIFY AND ACT UPON PROSPECTIVE INNOVATION POTENTIAL. New Markets Strategic Coordination New Technologies New Target Groups Tactical Coordination New Sources Market Radar Product Concepts Operational Coordination Available Technologies Technology Radar New Product Concepts 15

16 PROSPECTING IS ABOUT MAKING SENSE OF THE CHANGE AND COMBINING INSIGHTS TO FORM VISIONS. SITUATION SCENARIOS OUTCOME Nelson Mandela had been released from prison, and the negotiations to end apartheid had begun. A diverse team of South African leaders wanted to work together on how to effect a successful transition to democracy. Source: Deeper News, Vol. 1 No. 7 Ostrich, in which a negotiated settlement to the crisis in S. Africa is not achieved, and the country s government continues to be nonrepresentative. Icarus, in which transition is rapid but the new government unwisely pursues unsustainable, populist economic policies Lame duck, in which a settlement is achieved but the transition to a new dispensation is slow and indecisive. Flight of the flamingos, in which the government s policies are sustainable and the country takes a path of inclusive growth and democracy As a result of this process... the broad outline of a feasible and desirable outcome emerged (Flamingos). This kind of common understanding, together with many other factors, promoted agreement upon a settlement to the crisis. 16
