Get There Early: Sensing the Future to Compete in the Present

These days, every leader struggles with a paradox: you canâ€™t predict the future, but you have to be able to make sense of it to thrive. In the age of the Internet, everyone knows whatâ€™s new, but to succeed you have to be able to sort out whatâ€™s important, devise strategies based on your own point of view, and get there ahead of the crowd.

Bob Johansen shares techniques the Institute for the Future has been refining for nearly forty years to help leaders navigate what, borrowing a term from the Army War College, he calls the VUCA world: a world characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. As the instituteâ€™s ten-year forecast makes clear, leaders now face fewer problems with neat solutions and more dilemmas: recurring, complex, messy, and puzzling situations. Get There Early lays out the instituteâ€™s three-step Foresight to Insight to Action Cycle that will allow readers to sense, make sense of, and win with dilemmas. Johansen offers specific techniques, ranging from storytelling to simulation gaming, as well as real-world examples to help readers turn the VUCA world on its head through creative use of vision, understanding, clarity, and agility. This book offers hope for leaders facing the constant tensionâ€”a dilemma in itselfâ€”between judging too soon and deciding too late.
