Some managers develop strategy by focusing on problems in the present, and that’s especially true during a crisis.

But Mark Johnson, co-founder of the innovation consulting firm Innosight, argues that leaders should imagine the future and then work backward to build their organization for that new reality.

In this episode, he outlines the practical steps managers can take to look beyond the typical short-term planning horizon and help their teams grasp future opportunities. Johnson also shares real-world examples from Apple, Johnson & Johnson, and Intel to illustrate what can happen when leaders shift their strategic mindset to focus on the future.

Key episode topics include: strategy, innovation, decision making and problem solving, growth strategy, crisis leadership, managing teams.

Do you know the difference between accurate forecasting and effective forecasting?

Technology forecaster Paul Saffo says accurate forecasting is nearly impossible to do. But if you aim for effective forecasting, he notes, then at least you’re considering the full range of reasonable possibilities for the future, rather than jumping to one conclusion and preparing only for that outcome. “If you head straight towards accurate forecasting, you may end up in a much worse situation by overlooking things that eventually come to pass,” Saffo argues.

In this episode, he shares his six rules for effective forecasting—from visualizing future uncertainty to discerning patterns in past data—and explains why it’s important to be your own worst critic of your forecasts.

Key episode topics include: strategy, strategic planning, risk management, decision making and problem solving, forecasting, technology.

In this Flight Club episode, Klaus Leopold chats with Roland Pßrzer about the powerful combination of Hoshin Kanri and Flight LevelsŽ at SIEMENS. 

Hoshin Kanri, a cornerstone of the SIEMENS Development Principles, has been strategically leveraged by Roland to solidify their strategy work. To make the comprehensive nature of Hoshin Kanri more approachable, he mapped the key artifacts to the strategic interface of Flight Levels - SOFI, and then visually presented these elements on a Flight Level 3 system. This setup not only made vital strategic information easily accessible but also significantly aided decision-making, continually highlighting areas requiring further decisions.

Tune into this episode with Roland PĂźrzer to dive deeper into how they brought their strategy to life using Hoshin Kanri and Flight LevelsÂŽ. There's also a written case study on Roland's story if you want to read up on the details: Hoshin Kanri and Flight LevelsÂŽ Get Siemens Ready For The Future https://circle.flightlevels.io/c/blog/hoshin-kanri-and-flight-levels-siemens

I denne jubilæums episode nr. 25 dykker jeg ned i et emne, der ofte bliver gemt væk bag lukkede døre – sårbarhed i ledelse. Jeg deler min personlige historie om, hvorfor jeg har valgt at stå frem og tale åbent om mine egne oplevelser med stress og diagnoser. Det har ikke kun været en "rejse" mod bedre selvforståelse, men også en mulighed for at skabe en mere ærlig og autentisk forbindelse til mine kolleger, medarbejdere og de mennekser som jeg omgås med i professionelle virke. Ved at være åben omkring mine udfordringer har jeg oplevet, hvordan sårbarhed kan skabe en stærkere relation og øget forståelse i lederskabet. Det har givet mig et mere nuanceret perspektiv på, hvordan vi som ledere kan inspirere andre ved at vise, at vi også er mennesker med vores egne kampe som i sidste ende fremmer trivslen på arbejdspladsen og dermed et bedre arbejdsmiljø. I episoden taler jeg om, hvordan min tilgang har ændret min måde at lede på og skabt et mere empatisk arbejdsmiljø, hvor der er plads til at være sig selv – på godt og ondt.Skal du med på webinar?Tilmeld dig via dette link til webinar om trivsel, ledelse og arbejdsbalance som afholdes tirsdag d. 10. september kl. 10.00Gå ikke glip af nye episoder!

Vi skal tale om et emne, han ”brænder” for – nemlig hvorfor han mener, at den vigtigste ledelseskompetence i fremtiden er evnen til at lytte højere.Derudover skal vi dykke ned i, hvorfor det er afgørende at sætte 'arbejdsglæde og trivsel' på agendaen i virksomhederne. Jonathan mener, at der er gået inflation i forskellighed, og at det skader os alle.Du finder Jonathan Løw på LinkedIn eller på jonathanloew.dk.
