Associations are quickly having to face the reality that they are looking at a very different future as they learn to deal with the issues surrounding societal transformation. According to Jeff De Cagna, FASAE, Chief Strategist and Founder of Principled Innovation LLC, this requires today’s leaders to move beyond typical strategic thinking and learning to look five to ten years down the road to see what is going to be required to keep their associations on the path of success.
Jeff and I recently met for Episode 26 of Ask the Thought Leader, to dig a little into the thought-provoking ideas brought forth during the latest in our CAE Webinar Series, Embracing the Board’s Duty of Foresight. In our interview, Jeff tackled some of the key points he addressed during the webinar, as well as answer questions asked by our webinar attendees.

If you weren’t able to attend the original webinar, you can watch the recorded version of Embracing the Board’s Duty of Foresight on the YM YouTube Channel. Jeff discussed the importance for association decision-makers to fully understand the opportunities and responsibilities created by the relentless forces of societal transformation, and why the “duty of foresight” is so critical to building your association to thrive and how you can help your board to fully embrace it.
