Presentation

Complex, unstable, uncertain... There's no shortage of adjectives to describe the world we live in. For some, we are experiencing unprecedented crises (health, environmental, economic, etc.). For others, we're living in a time of metamorphosis and reinvention.
Today, the question of the sustainability of the political, social and economic models imagined at the dawn of the first industrial revolution is being posed to all organizations - companies, associations, etc. - in order to ensure that they can continue to meet the challenges of the future.
Perhaps today is also the time for them to reinvent themselves to help build a sustainable future that is “fertile”, wealth-creating, resilient and inclusive.

During this training course, you will discover the methods and tools that will enable you to understand, decide and act in a complex and constantly changing world.
You will also have the opportunity to apply your newly acquired knowledge and know-how to a client organization, which you will support in its exploration of possible futures.

Now may also be the time for them to reinvent themselves to help build a ‘fertile’ future that creates wealth, is resilient and inclusive.
 
Organised around a real case study, the 28-hour training course (3 days face-to-face and 1 day distance learning) will aim to:
 
To introduce you to the fundamentals of analysing the business model of a real ‘learning’ organisation.
 
  • Teach you the key concepts of foresight, prospective scenarios and immersive experiences.
  • Enable you to lead a strategic conversation with the learning organisation to get it to question its business model in the light of possible futures.
