DESCRIPTION
How do you thrive in this fast arriving future? The one thing everyone agrees on is that change is accelerating and more and more being agile and proactive is simply not enough. What if there is a better way? MACPA and BLI found one answer when we met Daniel Burrus, futurist, technologist and business guru. Dan researched what the number one skill (competency) needed for businesses in the foreseeable future. That skill is the ability to ANTICIPATE and it can be taught. Dan has developed a program to help us all become preactive, the ability to anticipate and solve problems before they happen. To become opportunity managers and leave behind the constant pressures of crisis management. We at our Business Learning Institute think he is onto something. Then we asked, can we take a profession based on history, looking out the rear view mirror and make it also future-focused? Can we teach CPAs, CFOs, finance and accounting professionals how to anticipate? On November 4th, business guru, tech-futurist, and bestselling author of Flash Foresight came to Maryland to work with the Business Leanring Institute, the learning and innovation lab of the Maryland Association of CPAs to help anticpate better the fast coming future... This slide deck shows our research about why we think this is needed NOW. Save the date for May 4th in Maryland when Daniel Burrus will be back to launch this exciting new program.

The competency of “anticipation” actually includes a number of competencies included in many of the top companies of today and the CPA Profession as well.
Across these models, you'll see a common theme of "strategic thinking," "innovation" and "leading change."
Many of these organizations build (and validate) fantastic competency models and know what they want people to do.
The beauty of the Anticipatory Organization model is that it offers a clear process that makes highly-abstract leadership competencies attainable and trainable.
If an organization wants to make "strategic thinking" or "innovation" a core competency, we can provide clear, trainable activities that can be targeted to a wide range of learners (from individual contributors to senior leadership).
We provide the bridge between the competency model and the desired observable behaviors.

Know What’s NextHARD TRENDS are certainties. They will happen, regardless of your actions. SOFT TRENDS might happen—and you can influence them. An organization that can identify certainties and future disruptions, will be better poised for success.
Develop OpportunitiesEvery HARD TREND provides an opportunity. The question is whether you’ll be there to capitalize on it. The Anticipatory Organization model helps you pre-solve predictable problems in order to identify and act on game-changing opportunities.
Shape the FutureYour view of the future shapes the decisions you make today. And, the decisions you make will shape your future. This is your FUTUREVIEW® and it is a powerful force in shaping the future of both organizations and individuals. The Anticipatory Organization model reveals the power of your FUTUREVIEW and teaches you to use HARD TRENDS to elevate your plans and realize the business you envision.
Accelerate SuccessWhen your entire team shares a common FUTUREVIEW that’s based around the certainty of HARD TRENDS, it drives your organization’s strategic velocity and accelerates success.
