Based on decades of research and experience applying his Hard Trend methodology to leading companies worldwide, Daniel has identified the missing competency: Anticipation.

With his Anticipatory Organization Model, Burrus enables business leaders to separate Hard Trends from Soft Trends. When you learn to analyze and perceive trends this way, it is possible to tap into what Burrus calls Everyday Innovation, solving challenges faster, and recognizing previously invisible opportunities.

Mastering these capabilities will position your organization to be the disruptor instead of being the disrupted—thus creating competitive advantage, and reducing risk.

Key Takeaways:
This eye-opening and motivating presentation will teach attendees the key components of the new core competency—anticipation—and show them how to apply it to their work and life, which will accelerate both their organization’s growth and their personal success.
Other notable deliverables include:
• Identify the Hard Trends that will happen, predict disruptions before they disrupt, and capitalize on emerging opportunities.

4. Leading with Strategic Foresight and Certainty

Agility and adaptability are no longer enough! Accurately anticipating customers’ changing needs and technological change provides the biggest advantage. In times of unprecedented change and uncertainty, we need to ask ourselves what are we certain about? Strategies based on uncertainty equal high levels of risk. Strategies based on certainty dramatically reduce risk and produce superior results.
Strategic foresight is based on the new Science of Certainty that will take your vision to a new actionable level by identifying the events that will happen in the future. Mastering these capabilities will position your organization to be the disruptor instead of being the disrupted.

5. Accelerating Innovation: Using Hard Trends and Exponential Technology

Technology is continually changing the rules of competition, rendering many traditional business strategies and processes obsolete. Emerging technologies provide opportunities for creating
new, high-margin products and services, as well as enable companies to gain new levels of speed, agility and cost savings. In addition, they allow us to de-commoditize current products
and services.
Identifying and understanding the challenges and opportunities that new technologies create has become a key business imperative; however, this can prove a daunting task in the modern marketplace.
