Exponential Thinking for Exponential Times

Boardroom Briefs

Boardroom Briefs for the Future

Boardroom Briefs is a series of practical insights designed for leaders, executives and boards who need to navigate today’s complexity with future-fit thinking. It offers strategic foresight perspectives that challenge outdated assumptions and support informed decision-making.

Relevant for the Future

Today’s leaders cannot rely on yesterday’s best practice to survive tomorrow.

The Boardroom Briefs series is created for board members, executives, and governance professionals who recognise that yesterday’s solutions may not serve tomorrow’s challenges. Each brief is designed to spark thoughtful dialogue in the boardroom and provide a basis for evaluating whether existing strategies are aligned with the emerging context.

From Exponential Thinking for Exponential Times, which examines how businesses must move beyond legacy systems and linear assumptions, to Two Trends to Understand the World Today, which maps out new strategic landscapes shaped by the scarcity/abundance and binary/fluid continuums, these books encourage leaders to reassess and realign their thinking.

Additional topics are covered in the books, Put the Future on the Agenda (complementary copy available on ebook platforms) and The Futurist on your Board.

Exponential Thinking for Exponential Times

Linear, local thinking has no place in an exponential, global world.

Without changing our thinking, we run the risk of effectively leading our organisations into ruin. In an exponential world, leaders need to think like futurists.

The book is now available on all leading ebook platforms.

Two Trends that Explain the World Today

The intersection of the Scarcity/Abundance trend with the Binary/Fluid trend offers an explanation for the world today and an indication of what can happen in the world tomorrow.

The Futurist on your Board

Where a strategist plans, a Sensemaker perceives. Your role is to tune into early signals, trends, currents and narratives and then hold space for these insights without being tempted to reduce them to a convenient soundbite.

Develop Future Ready Competencies

These 7 Competencies match most leadership, learning and development and talent development competency frameworks and are at the core of preparing leaders with thinking that is fit for the future.

Testimonials from Clients

★★★★★ 5/5

I've just seen Charlotte present at a virtual conference and she was brilliant. It's always hard to keep the attention of an audience on Zoom and Charlotte had such an interesting presentation that people could not tune out for even a minute. As a futurist, she got me thinking about my business and what my next steps would be for me. If you are looking for an engaging speaker, Charlotte Kemp is the one for you.

I have attended webinars hosted by Charlotte and I have found them to be detailed, insightful, and useful for both professionals as well as people who are just beginning their futures journey. The sessions are moderated in a way that participants also get to put forward their viewpoints. I strongly recommend working with her and look forward to more learning events with her in the near future.

Charlotte presented her concept of " A Map, Compass and Guide to managing the future" to TFG's entire Marketing community. Her talk was both insightful and inspiring - we all gained something that we could implement, be it in our work or personal lives. She provided us with a solid set of tools so that one can face the future with more confidence, make more informed decisions, and feel some peace and certainty in the midst of other people’s chaos. Charlotte made 'preparing for future change' seem so easy to do. It takes real smarts to make something potentially so complex seem so easy/simple.
