🌟 How do we shape the future we want? 🌟   Last week, the SGC Innovation Circle International (ICI) hosted an inspiring webinar with Sven Gabor Janszky, futurist and CEO of 2b AHEAD ThinkTank GmbH ThinkTank, Europe’s largest independent Future Institute.   Key idea: Forget traditional forecasting! Sven introduced backcasting, a creative approach that flips the script: 🔮 Start with a clear vision of your desired future. 🔄 Work backwards to map out the actions, milestones, and decisions needed to make it a reality.   This method helps organisations tackle complex challenges with flexibility and strategic focus, ensuring every step aligns with their goals.   A heartfelt thank you to Sven Gabor Janszky for sharing his expertise and to Martin Schweiger, ICI Committee Chairperson, for making it happen. 🙌   💡 Interested in future-focused strategies like this?
