  Gasthörer: Simulation Skills This is Your Brain on the Future

  Do you want to learn how to simulate the future more creatively and more effectively? This course is for you.Humans are the only living creatures with the ability to think about and make plans for the long- term future. Even so, our brains don’t always make it easy. Over the past decade, scientists have discovered a number of neurological “road blocks” to effective futures thinking. These glitches in the brain make it harder for us to accurately predict how we’ll feel and what we’re likely to do, when a particular future arrives. They lead us to make faulty assumptions about which futures are likely or unlikely to happen. And they convince us we have less power to shape and influence the future than we actually do – leaving us stuck in the present. In this course, you’ll learn how to overcome these obstacles so you can think about the future more strategically and creatively. You’ll practice simulation techniques for “unsticking” the mind when it comes to seeing what’s possible in the future and accepting how things could be different. You’ll also learn how to lead others through “first-person future” simulations, which have been shown in scientific studies to improve strategy and increase motivation and hope for the future. Along the way, leading futurists from the Institute from the Future will share some of their most challenging forecasts to help you stretch your imagination and improve your simulation skills. This course will ensure that you can put all of your new forecasting skills to the best possible use, by helping you nudge your brain toward more effective ways of simulating and preparing for the future.

  Das Ziel dieses Kurses ist es, die verschiedenen Facetten der Formulierung von Unternehmensstrategien vorzustellen, zu analysieren und zu diskutieren. Mit dem Schwerpunkt, dass Strategie als ein einheitliches Thema gesehen werden kann, das den Handlungen und Entscheidungen eines Unternehmens Kohärenz und Richtung verleiht, werden wir eine Vielzahl von unternehmensstrategischen Themen behandeln, die sich mit der Positionierung des Unternehmens im Kontext verschiedener Märkte, Branchen und Standorte befassen. Am Ende des Kurses werden Sie in der Lage sein: - zu erkennen, warum eine starke Strategie für den zukünftigen Unternehmenserfolg unerlässlich ist - eine Unternehmensstrategie zu formulieren, die den Bedürfnissen und Visionen Ihres Unternehmens entspricht - zu erklären, warum Manager allzu oft suboptimale Strategien formulieren - Maßnahmen zur Optimierung aktueller Unternehmensstrategien zu extrapolieren. Show less Die Welt der Unternehmensstrategie befindet sich im Wandel. Was früher funktionierte, funktioniert heute nicht mehr - nicht unbedingt. Dieser Kurs bereitet Sie darauf vor, in einer Zeit strategisch zu denken, in der Unternehmen wie Apple, Google und Microsoft (gemessen an der Marktkapitalisierung) wertvoller geworden sind als Unternehmen wie Exxon. Unternehmenswert und Wettbewerbsvorteile ergeben sich heute häufiger aus der Wahrnehmung der Verbraucher, was "cool" ist, als aus physischen Vermögenswerten oder Größenvorteilen. In diesem Kurs - dem ersten einer dreiteiligen Spezialisierung, die speziell auf das Zeitalter der Kreativität und Innovation zugeschnitten ist - bereiten Sie sich auf die Herausforderungen der Strategieformulierung und -umsetzung in einem Unternehmen des 21Jahrhunderts vor. Nach dem Kurs werden Sie in der Lage sein: - zu erklären, warum die Strategieentwicklung als "Höhepunkt der Managementtätigkeit" (Mintzberg) gilt; - die alten, müden Ideen über Strategie, die es immer noch gibt, zu erkennen und zu vermeiden, so dass Sie frischere, bessere Ideen übernehmen können; - aufzuzeigen, wie sich die Strategieentwicklung aufgrund der fortschreitenden Technologie und der Globalisierung verändert hat.
