Book excerpt: Future-Proofing Your Organization outlines a process to develop thinking skills and thereby help organizations to develop the workers and leaders they need for success - today and in the future. The book is organized in three parts. Part I provides a look at the current state we find ourselves in - when and how thinking has denigrated, what learning truly is, and how we do it most effectively. Additionally, it outlines what future business leaders, in particular, will need in terms of thinking skills for the next ten to fifteen years. Part II examines what and how we need to teach thinking skills. It discusses the need for ongoing curriculums, not one-hit training classes, and outlines the most important topics our future leaders will need to have as a basic skill set in order to lead confidently and competently. Part III is full of tools to use immediately with your workers. There are two types of tools provided: Activities which help to utilize and stretch thinking skills and Case Studies which ask the reader to look objectively at well-known business foibles and analyze - what went wrong? What were the warning signs? What could have been done differently? And what should be the strategy moving forward?
