Need to get going on some really big goals? Maybe your team is challenged with the growth of a new product line, but you have no idea where to start? Perhaps your company needs to innovate and scale up, but you’re stuck in “We’ve tried everything – nothing works.” Or you have these perpetual thoughts of achieving something new – a new adventure, an entrepreneurial endeavor, a long-lost goal – but you haven’t been able to take action? In our unique Visioneering Process, we use the Merlin, or backcasting, process to help individuals, teams and organizations get from where they find themselves today, in their current reality, to where they want to be. Backcasting starts with defining a desirable future and then working backwards to identify landmarks, benchmarks, milestones, accomplishments, events, tasks, and programs that will connect the future to the present. The fundamental question of backcasting asks: “If we want to attain a certain future, which accomplishments must be achieved to get there?” Our expert team of Future Creators specializes in vision creation, implementation and facilitating transformation through strategic planning, committed action and positive change. We use on-purpose play, group genius, collaboration, emotional and somatic intelligence and over 25 years of experience in innovation and transformational coaching to help our clients create extraordinary futures! We create and hold the space that EVERYTHING is possible!
