Associations Thrive

106. Jeff De Cagna, EA at Foresight First LLC, on Association Boards and their Duty of Foresight


Listen Later

What is foresight thinking, and how can it transform your association's future? Is your association prepared for what might happen?

In this episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Jeff De Cagna, Executive Advisor at Foresight First LLC. Jeff discusses:

  • What foresight thinking is and what it is not.
  • How foresight thinking differs from strategic planning.
  • How foresight is not the same as a prediction or a forecast. Foresight represents anticipating and preparing for what could happen, not what will happen.
  • Why association boards have the duty of foresight.
  • How 5-7 years is the optimal window for foresight planning across industries, professions, and spaces.
  • Foresight asks, “What could happen and how do we prepare the organization for it?”
  • Foresight is not an initiative - it’s a way of thinking.
