Opening General Session Keynote: Seeing Around Corners: Leveraging Leading Indicators

Sunday, July 21, 2024
8:00 AM – 9:30 AM East Coast USA Time
Location: Hynes: Ballroom ABC

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
  • Define strategic inflection points and offer some examples.
  • Explain why established organizations so often miss seeing them, until it’s too late.
  • Identify useful leading indicators.
  • Create a simple early warnings system to use with your own organization.
Strategic inflection points represent a 10X shift in what is possible in a given environment. If you miss them, your organization can get into big trouble. If you catch them, it can take your organization to new heights. The strategic opportunity is that they often proceed very gradually, at first, which is when, if you are paying attention, you can detect what’s likely to happen. In this session, we’ll explore the nature of inflection points, discuss leading indicators and review the early warnings model as a way of improving your organization’s ability for strategic sensing.

The Weaver, Lifetime Achievement and Distinguished Service Awards will be presented during this session.
