The Future Pre-Mortem
What If You Failed—And What Can You Still Prevent?
More detailed information
Success can make you blind. This workshop clears your vision.
Participants are asked to write a post-mortem from the year 2040: Why did your company collapse? What did you miss? What threats went unspoken? It’s an uncomfortable yet deeply clarifying process that surfaces the fears, blind spots, and assumptions that normally stay hidden.
Once the truth is out, the power is back in your hands. Teams turn their worst-case scenarios into risk maps, early warning signals, and action plans. The companies that run this exercise regularly become radically more resilient—and far less surprised by disruption.
