Future-proof your water and wastewater operations with foresight and strengthen your preparedness for future challenges
Water and wastewater organizations face complex and challenging conditions linked to long-term trends such as climate change, increased sustainability requirements, financing issues and new business models. By working proactively with foresight, water and wastewater organizations can strengthen their strategic capabilities and long-term sustainability. Foresight is a strategic planning tool seeking to open up the perspective towards longer time horizons and understand how uncertainties, trends and developments today will affect the future. RISE offers support in identifying and analyzing relevant trends and future scenarios in order for your organization to be better equipped to meet future opportunities and challenges.
When water and wastewater organizations do not address their long-term strategic challenges, they risk falling behind in their sustainability work, having dissatisfied customers or having a poorer ability to deliver. Investing in your future ability to secure a sustainable and resilient business is a good way to confront and deal with these challenges.
Strategic foresight for the water and wastewater organization
Foresight is about preparing for uncertainty and fostering conditions making the organization more robust and flexible. Through a structured process, we help you identify and analyze important trends, so that your water and wastewater organization can handle future challenges.
For organizations responsible for municipal water and sewerage, we offer a process that consists of four steps:
1. Interviews with key employees to identify drivers, trends and new perspectives in the business.
2. Workshop with post-analysis to explore possible future scenarios and identify strategic courses of action.
3. Follow-up with key employees to process results and discuss concrete measures.
4. Delivery of action plan and subsequent follow-up to ensure that the implementation of the action plan takes place in the desired way.
