The Future by Design©

It is one thing to be brilliant in designing corporate strategies and business plans; it is a whole other matter to have people engaged, aligned, and perform the way they need to perform in order to fulfill the strategic objectives in the plan.

The biggest challenge for most organizations is that people attempt to implement a future-based plan, from a past-based perspective. This inevitably leads to a “more of the same” future, and no real appreciable difference in performance. Execution almost alwayssuffers because people are putting a new future into an already existing mind set and organizational paradigm. The Future by Design© strategic planning workshop produces a relationship of ownership to the plan by the key managers, for steering the organization into a real future. The context within which the planning takes place is critical and decisive. The Future by Design© process generates a conversation for the participants to own the future as their own. This context is essential.

A clearly defined future is birthed inside of a new cultural environment that opens up a pathway for maximized contribution from each member of the organization. When people have the experience that they have a contribution to make to the fulfillment of the future, they get inspired and committed. Overall job fulfillment increases and people bring not only their skills but their passion and heart to work. Profits increase and turnover decreases.

The Future by Design© process provides a powerful re-thinking of what actually makes planning strategic – making the future you envision for yourself and your organization inevitable.


Leadership, Management, CoachingThis program is designed to give new knowledge and understanding to people accountable for the performance of others in their organization; and therefore must coach, manage or lead. We will distinguish what it takes to provide authentic leadership, effective management and powerful coaching… under any circumstance.

We begin this program with an unusual statement: Consider that most organizations are under led, over managed and coaching deprived and therefore, we have discovered that the following is true: • Leaders take a stand, invent a powerful future, and enroll others • Managers translate the future into action by managing conversations and commitments, not by managing people • A coach’s job is to increase performance

LEADERSHIP Leaders are visionaries. They stand for a future that is beyond what’s predictable. Great leaders communicate their vision to others, overcome resistance to change, mobilize resources and manage their own ambitions; so that they continue to be inspiring. Authentic leadership is distinct from authority or charisma. Authentic leaders are people others want to emulate. Leadership requires a powerful relationship to one’s word.

MANAGEMENT Managers translate the future and vision into “execute-able” actions. Management is fundamentally grounded in productivity and results. Managers have more power when they understand how to switch their focus from results to action. Great managers make effective requests and promises.

COACHING Truly effective coaching is hard to find. Coaching deals with increasing performance. Great coaches make the task simple to accomplish and create an environment where it is safe to be “at risk”. They empower people to move from reasonable performance to extraordinary performance. A great coach is always willing to learn, demonstrates compassion and demands excellence and integrity.
