What does facilitation look like?

Robert Hiebler, who is a former Chief Learning Officer of a major corporation, has been personally trained by Daniel Burrus on implementing the AO Model in enterprise, will guide your organization through four key areas of development:

  1. Trend Analysis
    Understanding the Hard Trends that are shaping the future of your industry will enable you to better identify market certainties. Are you faced with cyclical change (such as seasonal, economic or sales cycles)? Or linear & exponential change (such as the shift to mobility, virtualization, and advanced cloud services)? Knowing the difference and taking advantage of each type of change can give you a powerful window to the future.As you learn to separate the HARD TRENDS that will happen from the SOFT TRENDS that might happen, you will learn to foresee and profit from change and disruption.
  2. Customer Needs
    Redefining the customer experience by anticipating customer future needs.To create the best products and provide the best services, a company must correctly gauge what trends, environments, and situations will address their customers’ current and future unmet needs.Discover how to rise above the competition by using Hard Trends to predict what your customers will need before they ask for it—and provide them with a solution at just the right time.
  3. Sales Obstacles
    Tie your solution into the HARD TRENDS that will shape your customers’ future. Certainty brings a high level of confidence. Use that confidence as a powerful closing tool. Hurdle over sales obstacles by foreseeing and solving problems before your customers can identify them.
  4. New Opportunities
    The most exciting part of active anticipation is being able to identify and capitalize on new game-changing business opportunities. Learn how to jump ahead with much lower risk to gain and maintain a healthy advantage over your competitors.

How is this different from Agile/Lean/Six Sigma training?

Developing the competency of Anticipation is a powerful enhancement for organizations who have adopted other process improvement methods like Agile, Lean, Six Sigma and others. Agility is reacting as quickly as possible to a problem or disruption. Anticipation is foreseeing disruptions before they disrupt which turns disruption into a choice and an opportunity.
