Be prepared to overcome uncertainty

Your organization’s success depends on its preparedness for disruptions.  The more uncertain the world seems to be, the more important it is to become future-ready. Being future-ready is a source of resilience during a crisis. It also helps your organization to capture new growth when opportunities arise, when normality returns.

Future Readiness Strategy is based on insights from a multi-year research project at IMD’s Center for Future Readiness. The center benchmarked leading companies across industries to understand what choices they make, how they work, and what exceptional leaders do.

Clarity matters. This program will help you see what’s most important, so you can prioritize. You will discover how to build your own future-ready organization, starting from your team, and yourself.

Through a set of framework and tools, you’ll devise your strategy for future readiness.
