Anticipatory Leadership

Leadership and future-of-work expert Erik Korsvik Ostergaard's new book explores Futures Thinking and Strategic Foresight. It shows how these important processes can be used inside of organizations to support leaders in shaping and transforming their company structures, cultures and governance. This important book helps business executives, managers and entrepreneurs to answer the following critical questions: How do I use my understanding of trends and signals in society and technology to design my organization, culture and governance? How do I look for signals inside of my organization? How do I challenge and revisit our assumptions and anticipations which we build our view of the future on? And what kind of leadership skills and style is required to be futures literate inside of my organization? This book is essential for any leader participating in the tactical world of organizational change management. It builds on important academic approaches like Anticipation-for-Emergence, on business approaches like strategic foresight, and on real-life cases of tactical foresight in large companies and scale-ups.
