Fabulous Strategic Foresight and Strategic Communications Resources For You
AI is Coming for Your __________. No, Let Sylvia Explain.
The fantastic Upgrade podcast host Peter Bittner recently interviewed the very dynamic Futurist Sylvia Gallusser about AI from a Futurist’s perspective.
What are the long-term ramifications of Generative AI in all the different dimensions that affect your organization? Whether social, environmental, technological, ethical, geopolitical and other dimensions, Sylvia explains how professional futurists track and synthesize these signals to help organizations make longer-term, strategic decisions.
Not Overhead.
Reframed, Internal Communications Creates Business Value.
I was on a call recently with someone who described internal communications as a “grind.” But the thing is, the people who build the strategies for the entire organization (short and longer-term) NEED strategic communications to get understanding, buy-in and even collaboration from sometimes deeply siloed teams.
If you take a first principles approach to understanding all the ways communications might help, the role transforms into one of the most powerful parts of an organization’s strategic initiatives.
So, we’re sharing a strategy framework we use to align internal communications with financial goals. It’s great for anyone leading change management, internal communications, product marketing or HR communications who wants to move up the value chain. It’s a powerful way to examine your thinking and show stakeholders how you add value. This is a PowerPoint template, but you can upload it to Google Slides if that format works better for you.

When we reframe, it’s like looking at the world through a kaleidoscope—everything looks different. That’s what popped into my mind when I dug into the Wicked Opportunities Report by Futurists Yvette Montero Salvatico and Frank Spencer of TFSX. They used the Natural Foresight Framework to reframe 7 Wicked Problems as Wicked Opportunities. I bet it was a lot of fun going through the process of creating this report. I especially like the graphic maps they created to capture their thinking throughout the process. Why not select your own Wicked Problems and use their process to devise some of your own Wicked Opportunities?
