innovation asks for a different mindset
How to stay future proof?
To stay future proof, you have to pay attention to both execution and innovation. The tree on the right shows how a healthy company continues to grow. To do this, a company must have a good balance between execution and search. Today’s business models on the right side of the tree are outdated and age faster. Therefore, the left side of the tree needs to be searched for new future ways of value creation.
our proven approach
Ready for the future in 5 steps
Each stage is output-driven, iterative, and time-bound: Stages 1 – 3 focus on understanding contextual changes and gauging future customer needs, while Stages 4 – 5 concentrate on validating new value propositions and business models that will exceed those needs.
stage 1
Define purpose
The first stage is centered on defining a clear and inspiring vision. This is defining a shared purpose, internalizing vision across the organization, and establishing how you provide real value to customers.
stage 2
Explore the future
The second stage is centered on exploring customer behaviour, future market demands, emerging trends and opportunities. We use data analytics and insights through our customer discovery and explore potential value you could offer tomorrow’s customers.
stage 3
Design future value
The third stage is about refining your design criteria and developing ideas on sustainable value creation. You learn to embrace divergent thinking. You learn to source unconventional inspiration from outside your industry and how to provoke ideas and feedback from within your organization.
stage 4
Explore the future
The fourth stage is focused on idea validation. You discover which ideas solve real problems for customers and whether these new propositions are economically feasible. You do this through testing, iterating, and re-testing value propositions in a Stay Future Proof Experimental Design Lab.
stage 5
Implement & scale
The final stage is about how to implement the validated value proposition. You develop a business model delta map and a roadmap, with our advising on a metrics to measure as you execute the new value proposition or business model.
