It’s time to design the future of governing!
Associations and non-profit organizations, and their boards, must do more than simply cope with a world experiencing transformation. They need to design more robust approaches to governing that effectively prepare them, their stakeholders and the fields they serve for whatever comes next.
Board attention is a finite and essential resource associations and non-profits must respect and use in the wisest possible way. Boards need to devote their attention to learning with the future by embracing “the duty of foresight” as a critical stewardship responsibility.
Foresight First LLC will help your association or non-profit organization strengthen board performance by building board capacity for making sense, making meaning and making intelligent decisions that anticipate and prepare for a variety of plausible futures.
Why Foresight First?
We are now in a “mobile first” world, which means designing technologies that keep the focus on what matters most, create compelling stakeholder experiences and reduce friction through an emphasis on
simplicity whenever possible.
These same basic principles can be applied to the design of association and non-profit governing, and it begins with keeping the focus of board work on the high stakes implications of the accelerating pace and intensifying impact of societal transformation. By governing “foresight first,” associations and non-profit directors can honor the contributions of their predecessors, serve their current stakeholders and demonstrate respect for their successors by creating the necessary conditions for future thrivability.
