Futureproofing Now (S#2, Ep #5) Future-Ready - Auditing Your Ability to Change & Grow

Futureproofing Now - The Future Beyond Innovation (hosted by Sean Moffitt)

Short of Nostradamus, no one can credibly predict what the future holds, but you can get ready for it.

In this episode of Futureproofing Now, we'll unpack our arsenal of three levels of innovation+ audit and based on a whack load of evidence point to the most important factors that either promote or hinder the ability for a company to innovate, grow and change.

We'll perform a deep dive on our Future-readiness Assessment Tool© and point to the key company-wide structural elements, change function performance and environmental factors that trigger innovation+ success or not. Avoid these suggestions at your future peril.

Most innovation fails, we don't want to have that happen to you! Join us for our illuminating webcast episode as Futureproofing Now reveals the most important factors in futureproofing and getting to next.

Futureproofing : Next will split the innovation atom and share tools and benchmarking grids proven to improve the innovation performance and capacity of companies in Season #2, Episode #5, “Future-Readiness - Auditing Your Ability to Innovate and Change”

We looked. We looked. And then we looked some more. In writing our book “Futureproofing : Next - The Future Beyond Innovation”, we benefited from some great work around innovation categorization, philosophy and process, but we found very few efforts made on evaluating the core question - how good are we at this innovation stuff?

We’ve spent over a year figuring out what promotes and what hinders change, innovation and growth in companies, big and small. We think we've landed on something really good and wanted to share it with the world.

In this episode, we'll look at the key factors that drive company changes. What are the ranked set of the most important factors? What are the three levels of elements? Does it matter which industry you are in? How do we get at an honest evaluation? And how do we compare ourselves to others?

Our special guest panelists will provide their commentary, scorecards, tools and evaluation on what makes company change efforts tick best. We'll also share how we use this audit tool to harness company strengths, bridge gaps and shore up deficiencies.
