A Next-Generation Learning System

When you use this AI-enhanced transformation accelerator model, you’ll understand how to:

Anticipate the Future with Accuracy

Hard Trends will happen— they are based on future facts that provide Certainty. Soft Trends are based on assumptions that might happen – and they can be shaped and influenced in a positive direction. When combined with AI-enhanced insights and the Three Digital Accelerators, you will gain accurate timeframes and deeper clarity on what’s next.

Solve Problems,
Faster

Every Hard Trend reveals a new opportunity. With AI-enhanced foresight and the Eight Hard Trend Pathways to Innovation, you can anticipate disruptions, solve problems before they happen, and uncover customer needs that lead to game-changing opportunities.

Drive Low-Risk
Innovation

Apply a shared language, strategies, and tools to turn rapid change into an advantage. With AI-enhanced foresight, use certainty to sell your ideas, transform how you communicate and collaborate, and become a Positive Disruptor.

Accelerate Success with Confidence

When your entire team shares the Anticipatory Organization Mindset — grounded in the certainty of HARD TRENDS, your organization gains strategic velocity and accelerates success. With AI-enhanced foresight, that alignment becomes even stronger, turning shared insight into coordinated, future-ready action.

Key Elements

A Next-Generation Learning Experience. It’s an Interactive Award-Winning AI-Enhanced Transformation Accelerator

That’s why we created the Anticipatory Organization Transformation Accelerator — a Next-Generation learning system, enhanced with AI and powered by our proprietary knowledge base. It’s designed to help you think smarter, act faster, and apply anticipatory strategies with confidence through cutting-edge single-concept videos, rapid application tools, and three elements that drive measurable transformation.

1. Future-Focused, AI-Enhanced Learning Frameworks

Unlike traditional training models that react to change, our system empowers teams to anticipate it. Grounded in Daniel Burrus’ proven Hard Trend Planning and Innovation methodology and enhanced with AI-driven foresight, learners are trained to separate future certainties from uncertainties—transforming disruption into opportunity. This proactive mindset becomes the organization’s strategic operating system for continuous innovation.

2. Real-Time Application Tools Powered by AI Assist

Each concept is paired with practical, fast-action tools that bridge learning and execution. Our AI Assist feature enhances this process by helping learners apply insights directly to their current roles and objectives. Whether you’re an executive, manager, or team member, you’ll immediately use what you learn to anticipate problems before they occur and solve them before they escalate.

3. Scalable Culture Shift—Accelerated by AI

This is not a one-time course—it’s a scalable movement that transforms organizational culture. Through short, high-engagement modules, teams build a shared language of anticipation amplified by AI insights that personalize learning and reinforce adoption. As the mindset spreads, the entire enterprise becomes more anticipatory, opportunity-focused, and resilient in an era of exponential change.

The Result?

A powerful tool that combines human insight with AI-enhanced foresight to help you:

  • Confidently anticipate what’s next to transform the way you plan.

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.
