Strategic Foresight Team Learning

Strategic Horizons Lab

Strengthen Your Organization with Future-Empowered Strategies and Leaders

Our 12-week Strategic Horizons Lab is a high-impact, experiential learning program designed for forward-thinking leaders who want to expand their team’s strategic vision and develop practical foresight capabilities. Using proven methodologies, we work with your team to identify emerging trends, explore future possibilities, and transform those insights into strategic action - all while building the internal skills to make foresight part of your ongoing strategic toolkit.

What to Expect:

  • An 8-week guided investigation of trends and future scenarios with your team (3-8 people)

  • Two powerful workshop sessions with your broader team (includes up to 25 people) to explore future possibilities and develop actionable strategies

  • A comprehensive roadmap that connects future possibilities to present-day strategies

  • Practical foresight tools and techniques for your team to continue using to maintain a future-focused perspective

Who is this program ideal for?

This hands-on program is perfect for organizations ready to move beyond reactive decision making and build a more proactive, future-empowered approach to strategy.

  • Preparing for or currently engaged in strategic planning

  • Interested in developing leadership skills within their team

  • Ready to identify and prepare for industry disruptions

  • Looking to create more robust, future-empowered strategies

What value does Strategic Foresight add?

For perspective on the value of Strategic Foresight and future-empowered strategic decision making, consider that Blockbuster's failure to recognize shifting consumer behaviors led to their decline from an $8.4 billion market value to bankruptcy, while Netflix - which they could have acquired for just $50 million - had a market cap of $450+ billion at the end of 2024 and continues to shape the future of entertainment.

Consider your organization's annual revenue and strategic investment budget. What would be the value of:

  • Identifying one major market shift 12-18 months before your competitors

  • Avoiding one significant strategic misstep in the next 3-5 years

  • Having an internal team capable of continuously scanning for and analyzing emerging opportunities and threats

For organizations with annual revenues of $10 million or more, even a 1% improvement in strategic decision-making represents a $100,000 return on investment.

“There is nobody who has Becky Cooperman’s smart, unique, combined skill sets of masterful facilitation, deep knowledge base, connected thinking, and mental agility. I have had the pleasure of working with her on a Futures retreat with a Board of Trustees and have also seen her bring this same, engaging work to students. Becky is a master at this work, no matter the audience. She makes this hard topic approachable and the work outcomes meaningful due to her facilitation skills and ability to connect different groups to relevant content and to prod and expand their thinking forward.”
