FUTURE READINESS SIGNATURE PROGRAM
Learning designed to build capacity and a culture for the informed decision-making, systems collaboration, community building, and strategic foresight that is essential for the innovation and transformative change needed to address complex, social, economic and environmental issues and opportunities.
Phase 1
Positioning for the Future: Cornerstones
This highly interactive, rich and meaningful learning opportunity will provide future readiness and a clear strategic direction for the transformative change and innovation essential for informed decisions and response to complexity.
Today’s reality is that we’re responding to challenging issues and opportunities and attempting to do it within systems that aren’t always relevant. At the same time, it often means struggling with increasing costs, decreasing revenues, and labour and volunteer shortages.
So how do we enhance our capacity to be future-ready for this escalating complexity and uncertainty in world that is volatile and uncertain?
One thing we do know is that the practical aspects of building capacity and a culture that values community, collaboration, and innovation will be critical. A sense of community and belonging, and the resulting trusted relationships and informal networks, will be the result of impactful collaborators – who may or may not have a formal title but do more to prioritize trusted relationships with their community of stakeholders.

Future Readiness: The How-to's
Phase 2
Future Readiness: The How-to's Even though we may agree we need transformative change, innovation, and collaboration, how do we make it a reality? How do we address complexity and the collective intelligence and responsibility needed to ensure informed decision-making and innovation? This phase will be relevant for those seeking practical approaches, tools, and resources to support a team or network to work with (1) community residents and/or other stakeholders at a systems level to address complex issues, and (2) reflect a commitment to facilitating the trusted relationships and sense of belonging that is an essential foundation for transformative change, innovation, and cross-sector collaboration.

...catalyzing collective capacity for the collaboration, innovation and systems change that is essential for resolving complex social, economic, and environmental issues.
We support individual and organizational future-readiness by catalyzing capacity for increasing (1) community and stakeholder-led development, (2) systems-practices, (3) strategic foresight, and (4) digital optimization. We've learned these four components are necessary for the project and systems collaboration and informed decision-making we have experienced as being essential for transformative change and innovation.
Innovative projects require being bold, perseverance, tenacity and a sprinkle of panic.

Many situations in life are similar to going on a hike: the view changes once you start walking. You don't need all the answers right now. New paths will reveal themselves if you have the courage to get started.
--James Clear
Leadership today is about courage. Courage to realize our challenges are complex and no one individual, organization, or sector can resolve them on their own. That means we have to let go of the idea that we alone have the answers. Instead, we need to strengthen our individual and organizational competencies in order to become convenors who call meetings before we have the answers, aren't intimidated by messy, and can ensure a culture where all voices are heard. Only then, can our collective gifts, experience, and wisdom be focused on building a better future for all.

In times of change it is the learners who inherit the future. Those who have finished learning find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.
