In Conversation with Adam Fremeth: Strategic Foresight for Uncertainty
In this episode:
Successful organizations plan to drive sustainable, long-term performance, but with the world moving faster and major disruptions, such as geopolitical turmoil, weather disasters, and digital innovation, occurring at an escalating frequency, the practice of strategic planning has become increasingly challenging for leaders across all sectors. Wracked with uncertainty for what the next ten, five, or even one year ahead will look like, how can leaders plan for future success?
In this episode, we sit down with Adam Fremeth, Associate Professor of Business, Economics, and Public Policy at Ivey Business School to discuss how leaders can develop organizational strategy for foresight and decision-making, emphasizing the importance for building for adaptability. Fremeth shares practical insights for developing strategies under pressure that support organizational resilience, fostering team dynamics that are able to thrive and adapt effectively through disruption, and building skills for mapping possible outcomes and pursuing the right opportunities.
