How The Skill of Envisioning Creates Purposeful Futures
Envisioning is a vital leadership capability in the information age. On-line streaming media shouting “the next big thing is...” creates uncertainty and confusion about current realities. Big data produced by technology reveals abstract patterns of a global world in ways that seem at times incomprehensible except to those who specialise in big data interpretation whilst organizations reduce risk at all costs by adhering to technology processes stifling the envisioning required to drive imagination and innovation. The truth is envisioning - to picture in the mind - is a human attribute technology cannot replicate. My recent research reveals most organizations and their leadership talk about the future yet very rarely develop envisioning as a basic organizational skill for creating value.
